1
00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:14,840
Speaker 1: Loll if you come here feel good, You're about to

2
00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:16,320
Speaker 1: feel good at ear muffs.

3
00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:17,520
Speaker 2: For those of you in Central.

4
00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:21,440
Speaker 1: Mississippi, I know you think you're in heaven again. Some

5
00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:23,360
Speaker 1: of you may have actually had it best year, but

6
00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:28,480
Speaker 1: paper pottery imagine being Mississippi. That's why I said ear muffs,

7
00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:32,000
Speaker 1: Central Mississippi. Mississippi State got blown out by Toledo at

8
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:35,400
Speaker 1: home last night. That you know. Do you realize this

9
00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:39,840
Speaker 1: team also plays at Texas number one, at Georgia, number two,

10
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:44,120
Speaker 1: at Ole, miss number five, at Tennessee number six, They

11
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:48,800
Speaker 1: play number seven Missouri at home. They play recently minted

12
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:51,040
Speaker 1: top twenty five team Texas A and M at home.

13
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:55,080
Speaker 1: What a disaster of a year incoming for Mississippi State. Now,

14
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:57,680
Speaker 1: I love those guys. They welcomed us with open arms

15
00:00:57,680 --> 00:00:59,800
Speaker 1: in the spring. It'll turn around, It'll be better. It's

16
00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:03,320
Speaker 1: a year, and I promise you your day is not going

17
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:05,560
Speaker 1: as bad as Jeff Levy's. Right now, we're jampacked. Were

18
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:10,360
Speaker 1: high toping glorious downtown Nashville, Tennessee, Sunday night, September fifteenth, Yeah,

19
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:13,640
Speaker 1: fifteenth Year of our Lower twenty twenty four, Proudly presented

20
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:17,080
Speaker 1: by Academy Sports and Outdoors. You know, LSU came all

21
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:20,119
Speaker 1: the way back. In that game yesterday, somebody somewhere had

22
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:23,720
Speaker 1: errands to run, probably not scheduled by themselves, and they

23
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:25,600
Speaker 1: turned the game off when it was seventeen to nothing.

24
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:29,319
Speaker 1: You shouldn't have, because we ended up getting about a

25
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:32,120
Speaker 1: four to four and a half Chili Classic there in Colombia.

26
00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 1: I'm gonna talk about it. I'm gonna talk about the

27
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 1: BILLI Napier stuff at Florida. I'm going to talk about

28
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:42,200
Speaker 1: whatever we're calling the stuff at Florida State officiating. I

29
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:44,759
Speaker 1: think it's safe to say as a disaster in college

30
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 1: football this year, we will get broad approval when I

31
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 1: talk about that later tonight. Georgia an interesting game last night,

32
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 1: thirteen to twelve over Kentucky. What do we make of that.

33
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 1: We'll talk to some Bamo, We'll talk several other teams.

34
00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:00,280
Speaker 1: I watched what Shador did after the game last night

35
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 1: in that Colorado game. I think a lot of you

36
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:05,680
Speaker 1: have seen a clip of it. Just want to remind

37
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 1: you how this world works. We'll talk about that later.

38
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:12,720
Speaker 1: They're watching us in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, Stockholm, Sweden, Jacksonville,

39
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 1: Alabama and North Smithfield, New Jersey. For those who were

40
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:20,920
Speaker 1: unaware and weren't following on social the other day, the

41
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:23,680
Speaker 1: store is open. Peyatestatemterial dot com is back open. We

42
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:26,600
Speaker 1: got Chuggy murch over there. We got this beautiful logo

43
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:29,520
Speaker 1: over my shoulder can be on a T shirt proudly

44
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 1: owned by you. I didn't announce it on the show

45
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 1: because I knew you guys would shut the store down,

46
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:36,080
Speaker 1: because you have the last two times we relaunched it.

47
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:38,440
Speaker 1: I think we had a brief shut down even if

48
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 1: I just announced it on social. But it's back up

49
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 1: and running. We're good to go. Sales were, oh, suffice

50
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 1: it to say a little bit better than expected over

51
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 1: the first couple of days. We take that money and

52
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 1: just invest it right back into the show. So actually,

53
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:54,239
Speaker 1: you're helping yourself when you do that. Plus you're dressing very,

54
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 1: very sharply. So we appreciate you guys for that. Peytstatematerial

55
00:02:57,240 --> 00:03:01,120
Speaker 1: dot Com. Let's dive in to really a number of

56
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:02,919
Speaker 1: different ways that we could go with the show. Tonight,

57
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 1: LSU beat South Carolina thirty six to thirty three, trailed

58
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 1: seventeen to nothing. I was at this game yesterday the

59
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 1: whole New Saturday Tour took us to the sidelines of WILLIAMS.

60
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 1: Brice Stadium. This was our highest rated game of the

61
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:19,680
Speaker 1: year so far. A four point five Cha Lai classic.

62
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:23,120
Speaker 1: Really good one unfolded. Now. I hesitated to give five

63
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 1: because you give five Challai that early in the season,

64
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 1: and well, you've set the standard and I think we

65
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 1: can do better than this game. But it was still

66
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 1: really entertaining to watch. It is wild how much had

67
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 1: to happen for LSU to win this game. If you

68
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 1: watched it, if you attended it, you know exactly what

69
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 1: I mean. South Carolina's up seventeen to nothing, all right,

70
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 1: so you're thinking to yourself, this is everything ls you

71
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 1: could not afford. I was talking to a couple of

72
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 1: LSU staffers before the game. They hadn't played there since

73
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:52,360
Speaker 1: eight so outside of like Michael Bona, no one on

74
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 1: that staff was there the last time LSU went up there,

75
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 1: and I was telling them, hey, score early, score early.

76
00:03:58,080 --> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 1: You don't want to see what this place is like

77
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:01,720
Speaker 1: if you don't score. So they proceed to go and

78
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 1: dig themselves a seventeen to nothing hold place is on fire.

79
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 1: It's living up to everything people like me said it was,

80
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:12,480
Speaker 1: and the nation's eyes are upon it, and you got

81
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:17,320
Speaker 1: Fowler and Herbstreet calling the game, and LSU wins. LSU

82
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:20,160
Speaker 1: finds a way to win the game. Road comebacks in

83
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 1: major college football are one of the most insane things

84
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 1: to witness, because LSU was flawed nine ways from Saturday

85
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:28,600
Speaker 1: yesterday and they found a way to win anyway. And

86
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:30,960
Speaker 1: it would just shock you. I think many of you

87
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:33,240
Speaker 1: go to these games, but if you could just, you know,

88
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 1: stand on the field, if you soak all that in

89
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 1: and you realize, like how mentally rattled the normal person

90
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:43,080
Speaker 1: would be if you're down seven to zero and it's

91
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 1: a key third down, much less being down seventeen to nothing.

92
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:50,040
Speaker 1: Because basically, everyone who's doubted you, if you're LSU. After

93
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 1: the USC game, everyone who doubted you, the individual voices

94
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:57,880
Speaker 1: that kind of coalesce into just a sea of noise

95
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:01,080
Speaker 1: that is eighty plus thousand people in the stadium. It's

96
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 1: like that noise is a bunch of dowters yelling in

97
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:06,680
Speaker 1: your ear. That's what a normal person would hear. A

98
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 1: normal person would have all kinds of panic thoughts running

99
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:10,920
Speaker 1: through the mind and I'm over there on the LSU

100
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 1: sideline and they're like, certainly not at ease, but they

101
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:18,160
Speaker 1: weren't panicked. That's a credit. That's a credit. They did

102
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 1: a lot wrong yesterday, they did a lot wrong to

103
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 1: dig that hole, but that's a credit. There are padlock

104
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:25,560
Speaker 1: stats and there are bad luck stats. Badlock stats are

105
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:28,479
Speaker 1: very misleading because if I told you Friday in a

106
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 1: game that we thought neither team was going to run

107
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:33,280
Speaker 1: the ball all that effectively, that South Carolina was going

108
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:35,320
Speaker 1: to put up two hundred and forty three on the ground,

109
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 1: that LSU's offensive line was gonna get worked in the process,

110
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:42,240
Speaker 1: you would tell me South Carolina is going to win

111
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:44,360
Speaker 1: this game, and I would agree with you. And that's

112
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:45,720
Speaker 1: not even to know that they were going to go

113
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:48,279
Speaker 1: up seventeen to nothing. That's just to know that they're

114
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 1: gonna have a really good day running the ball, including

115
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:52,279
Speaker 1: explosive plays like the one you're seeing right now, Rocket

116
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:57,800
Speaker 1: Sanders finds his explosive gear. And I feel I feel

117
00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:01,200
Speaker 1: like couple different ways you can go with this. If

118
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:04,000
Speaker 1: you're an LSU fan, and I know many of you,

119
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:06,720
Speaker 1: I have spoken to you. I had a couple of

120
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:11,640
Speaker 1: notable high profile. LSU fans who shall remain nameless, who,

121
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 1: even in what should have been the thrill of victory,

122
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 1: were very negative towards the team, and I think that's

123
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 1: just because the expectations were high. My expectations for LSU

124
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 1: weren't high this year, as many of you know because

125
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:26,719
Speaker 1: you hated on me for it in the preseason. So

126
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 1: I view these games differently, like, this is the game

127
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:32,279
Speaker 1: LSU's just flat out supposed to lose. Once it starts

128
00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 1: the way it does, LSU supposed to lose. They're supposed

129
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 1: to leave their one and two, so they don't. They

130
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:40,880
Speaker 1: leave their two and one. Offensive line was bad. They

131
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:44,120
Speaker 1: couldn't run the ball great, although you know, I think

132
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:47,520
Speaker 1: they got just enough in the ground game. Nuts had

133
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 1: a good game, but even he made some critical mistakes.

134
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:53,800
Speaker 1: They're not overly explosive at wide receiver million they couldn't

135
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:56,440
Speaker 1: they couldn't stop the run. Tackling still an issue. So

136
00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:58,680
Speaker 1: there are a million different problems you could have. But

137
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:02,040
Speaker 1: I expected a lot of those problems with LSU. Maybe

138
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:04,160
Speaker 1: not the offensive line struggling like that, but I expected

139
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:06,880
Speaker 1: a lot of those problems. And they've had critical injury too,

140
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 1: So I look at it, and I think good for LSU, Like, Wow,

141
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:13,040
Speaker 1: it's a very imperfect team. It was always going to

142
00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 1: be an imperfect team. But Brian Kelly, I'm impressed by

143
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:18,160
Speaker 1: the resolve of the team. And what you do with

144
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:22,320
Speaker 1: a talented team is the more runway you can buy yourself.

145
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 1: You never know what can happen. You may think you've

146
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:28,200
Speaker 1: got LSU figured out. I don't even think that staff

147
00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:30,200
Speaker 1: believes they've got their own team figured out, so I

148
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:33,680
Speaker 1: doubt we've got them figured out. But you at least

149
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:37,440
Speaker 1: buy yourself time to figure some things out. Every team's flawed.

150
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:39,760
Speaker 1: You got to figure out the best way you can

151
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 1: go about winning football games. And I don't know what

152
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:44,840
Speaker 1: they learned about themselves yesterday, but if you watched it

153
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:47,720
Speaker 1: along with me, there were so many ebbs and flows.

154
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:51,120
Speaker 1: It was a horribly called game officiating wise. I'll get

155
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:53,360
Speaker 1: to that in a second, but there were so many

156
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:56,760
Speaker 1: different moments where I find myself talking about this dude

157
00:07:56,760 --> 00:08:00,120
Speaker 1: who's on the screen right now, Garrett Nusmeyer. It's his

158
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:03,040
Speaker 1: game twenty four forty eighty five. It's dude from the

159
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:05,840
Speaker 1: class of twenty twenty one. He's stuck around. He's the

160
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 1: starting quarterback for LSU, and he gets his moment. If

161
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:12,240
Speaker 1: that never happens again, he'll be able to look back

162
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 1: on that day the rest of his life, which I'm

163
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 1: happy for because I'm happy for guys like that who

164
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:19,320
Speaker 1: stick around. Now, maybe there's much more to his story.

165
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:21,960
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, at least he gets one chapter that

166
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 1: he can always look back on. Maybe more to come.

167
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:28,680
Speaker 1: If South Carolina, however, does not lose Leonora Sellers in

168
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 1: this game, you guys are right, they probably win the game.

169
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:33,840
Speaker 1: And I'll do you one better because I hardly ever

170
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:36,960
Speaker 1: agree with this take. But South Carolina fans would be

171
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:38,960
Speaker 1: in both of your ears if you allow him today

172
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:41,680
Speaker 1: saying that officials cost them this football game. I think

173
00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:45,080
Speaker 1: you're right. I think they did. There's a horrifically officiated game,

174
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:48,480
Speaker 1: and that was not the only place across this great

175
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:52,080
Speaker 1: sport of ours yesterday where officiating either heavily impacted or

176
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:57,680
Speaker 1: may have outright decided outcomes of games. It's football. I know.

177
00:08:57,760 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 1: It's so easy to say. And there's another thing you

178
00:08:59,880 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 1: can say, just like, if I were an LSU fan

179
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:03,840
Speaker 1: watching this right now, I'd say, hey, we have some

180
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:07,040
Speaker 1: calls go against us. You sure did. Also, you could say, well,

181
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:09,800
Speaker 1: it's still up to South Carolina to execute. Shane Biemer

182
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:12,000
Speaker 1: said all the right things today he has to say that,

183
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:14,360
Speaker 1: But I guarantee they lit up the league office. In fact,

184
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:16,160
Speaker 1: I know they lit up the league office as they

185
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:18,760
Speaker 1: should because they probably got a game taken from them.

186
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:20,840
Speaker 1: I can't prove that. I don't know if you change

187
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:22,600
Speaker 1: a call how the rest of a game plays out.

188
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:26,000
Speaker 1: None of us know that. But thirteen penalties for one

189
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:28,600
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty three yards. Some of that's on them,

190
00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:32,520
Speaker 1: and it's inexcusable. I don't think all of it's on them.

191
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:37,880
Speaker 1: I hate, on one hand that you watch a game

192
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:40,640
Speaker 1: be put in the hands of officials. It's not the

193
00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:42,640
Speaker 1: way it's supposed to work. And I don't mean all

194
00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:44,920
Speaker 1: that well, they can't make that call in that spot.

195
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:47,719
Speaker 1: I mean some of the calls they made shouldn't be

196
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:50,319
Speaker 1: made in any spot. I'm not a dude who says

197
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:52,400
Speaker 1: you got a swallw the whistle if you're the official there. No,

198
00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:56,040
Speaker 1: the rules are the rules, but when they're applied wrong,

199
00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:57,840
Speaker 1: I don't care if it's midway through the first quarter

200
00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:00,840
Speaker 1: or late fourth quarter, and especially when when you're changing

201
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:04,240
Speaker 1: the outcome of games. It's garbage. We don't play one

202
00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:05,880
Speaker 1: hundred and sixty two of these. By the way, it's

203
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:08,120
Speaker 1: not Major League Baseball. It's not a missed call at

204
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 1: the plate. But we'll get them tomorrow night. In the

205
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:12,880
Speaker 1: second game of a four game set in July, you

206
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:16,720
Speaker 1: had one shot at LSU coming to town. You got

207
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:21,320
Speaker 1: one shot with college game day in town, and it

208
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:25,560
Speaker 1: probably got decided by folks not in black and garnet

209
00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:29,400
Speaker 1: and not in purple and gold and white. This, however,

210
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:32,240
Speaker 1: was a really good game back and forth. I also

211
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:35,440
Speaker 1: think with Shane Biemer in South Carolina, they had a

212
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:38,439
Speaker 1: ton of official visitors there. They had to turn some away.

213
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:40,160
Speaker 1: They've got a tough stretch coming up. They got to

214
00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:41,679
Speaker 1: play Ole miss, they got to play Bama, they got

215
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:43,000
Speaker 1: to go to Oklahoma, they got A and M, they

216
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:44,920
Speaker 1: got Missouri, they got at Clemson. They've got a tough

217
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:48,319
Speaker 1: stretch as well. Five wins to seven wins is probably

218
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:51,640
Speaker 1: still where you'd project them landing somewhere in that three

219
00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:58,040
Speaker 1: game stretch or three game variants, I guess. But what

220
00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:00,800
Speaker 1: they can do is that they can point to this

221
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:02,840
Speaker 1: result and they can say, hey, we didn't get blown out.

222
00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:06,160
Speaker 1: So we've been preaching, as every staff does, that's not

223
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:08,840
Speaker 1: there yet. They preach to their incoming classes and their

224
00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:13,319
Speaker 1: perspective recruits, you're what can get us there. Well, if

225
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:15,600
Speaker 1: you lose thirty six to thirteen, you can't really say

226
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:17,600
Speaker 1: we're one class away. But if you lose thirty six

227
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:19,440
Speaker 1: thirty three and have them on the ropes the entire

228
00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:21,800
Speaker 1: game and have the officials maybe snatched it out of

229
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:24,280
Speaker 1: your hands, you can point to those kids. You can

230
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:27,400
Speaker 1: point say, look at Dylan Stewart already out there making

231
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:29,840
Speaker 1: an impact. We started him as a true freshman, and

232
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:32,120
Speaker 1: he's living up to the billing. You could be next,

233
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:33,840
Speaker 1: and if we get a few more like you, then

234
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:36,520
Speaker 1: you never know what changes in the future. But I'm

235
00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:38,920
Speaker 1: excited to see what happens with LSU because this is

236
00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:41,320
Speaker 1: a unique situation where they won a game, they won

237
00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:43,960
Speaker 1: a really big game, but in the odds to win

238
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:48,600
Speaker 1: the SEC, they're still eight and a lot of their

239
00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:52,520
Speaker 1: fan base still has a ton of questions, as you should.

240
00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:55,360
Speaker 1: I do as well, So there's still a lot of

241
00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:58,920
Speaker 1: doubt around this team. They went up there and we're

242
00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:01,280
Speaker 1: on the ropes with South Carolina that's a game in

243
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:03,640
Speaker 1: the preseason that you look at and you say, that'll

244
00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:05,640
Speaker 1: be a nice little test for us, but we'll win it.

245
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:07,719
Speaker 1: But then when you lost to USC in Week one,

246
00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:10,000
Speaker 1: all bets were off, but they went up there and

247
00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:12,000
Speaker 1: they got to win. I got to tell you this though,

248
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:14,840
Speaker 1: before we move on. Out of all the tour stops

249
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:16,920
Speaker 1: that will make this year, and out of all the

250
00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:20,920
Speaker 1: stops we made so far, LSU at South Carolina Williams.

251
00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:23,600
Speaker 1: Brice Stadium yesterday high noon kickoff, this was our most

252
00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:26,080
Speaker 1: successful tour stop. The whole New Saturday tour rolled in

253
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:29,240
Speaker 1: there Thursday night. We spent all day Friday there. Obviously

254
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:31,320
Speaker 1: we were on the field for yesterday's game, but I

255
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:33,920
Speaker 1: went over there early because we got summoned to come

256
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:37,120
Speaker 1: over there early. First off, the mayor, the literal mayor

257
00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:40,160
Speaker 1: of Columbia hit us up. Mayor Rickenman there he is

258
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:42,600
Speaker 1: right there. We met with him Friday. A lot of

259
00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:46,320
Speaker 1: what we discussed was off the record in nature, as

260
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:49,880
Speaker 1: politics often are, and when you get the convergence of

261
00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:53,000
Speaker 1: college football and politics. Mainly I was just asking him

262
00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:55,680
Speaker 1: his advice on how I could become commissioner. But met

263
00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:58,440
Speaker 1: with him a big fan of the show, his entire office,

264
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:01,280
Speaker 1: as it turns out. And then that day, where do

265
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:04,440
Speaker 1: I go? I go from City Hall over to meet

266
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:08,720
Speaker 1: with the ladies at Pout Pout Cosmetics, welcomed us courtesy

267
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:11,120
Speaker 1: of Alyssa laying arranging all this. Got a text from

268
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:13,520
Speaker 1: her the other day she said, I got a crazy hookup.

269
00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:16,840
Speaker 1: I can get you and Colombia. I said really, and

270
00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:20,280
Speaker 1: she said really, And this was it. They gave me

271
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:23,440
Speaker 1: so much free product over there. Tsa pulled me aside

272
00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:26,480
Speaker 1: at the airport, not because I had anything over four roundces,

273
00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:29,120
Speaker 1: but because I was so loaded down with sample sizes

274
00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:31,480
Speaker 1: of stuff that they said, this has got to be

275
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:34,800
Speaker 1: a trafficking situation. I'm trafficking in good skin. That's all

276
00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:37,360
Speaker 1: I'm doing. You know. If that's my biggest crime, then

277
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:39,599
Speaker 1: sue meet. That's not what I'm looking for. That's the

278
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:42,040
Speaker 1: opposite of what I want. But I appreciate them. I

279
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 1: appreciate them. I got what is called a hydro facial

280
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:49,840
Speaker 1: immunity to all this, obviously never gotten one before, probably

281
00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:51,480
Speaker 1: will come back. I had to get out of there

282
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:54,280
Speaker 1: quick because Holly Rowe was in right after me, So

283
00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:56,200
Speaker 1: that was the hotspot. To be in Colombia. And then

284
00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:59,480
Speaker 1: of course yesterday, what a day at Williams of Bryce

285
00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:03,360
Speaker 1: the student section. I'm pretty convinced Colin and Jesse eighty

286
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:06,680
Speaker 1: plus percent of enrolled students at the University of South

287
00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:11,440
Speaker 1: Carolina watched the show like intimately familiar with the show,

288
00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:14,800
Speaker 1: like mentioning specific things about the show. So a lot

289
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:17,320
Speaker 1: of pictures were taken, a lot of meetups Gelby with

290
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:19,120
Speaker 1: the b role that thank you Gelby coming through with

291
00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:24,320
Speaker 1: the b roll. So appreciate the staff there. Man, what

292
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:26,160
Speaker 1: a time, what a day. This is what it's like

293
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:27,880
Speaker 1: when we go on the road. Management's up in the

294
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:31,360
Speaker 1: suites sipping on game cocktails as they would call them.

295
00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:33,880
Speaker 1: There not us, not us, We're down in the trenches.

296
00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:37,760
Speaker 1: We're with our people. These are our people. You are

297
00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:40,600
Speaker 1: our people. So we appreciate it. Fun day in Colombia.

298
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 1: I hate it didn't turn out better for you guys,

299
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:50,160
Speaker 1: but fun day. And of course beforehand, the tailgate scene

300
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:53,320
Speaker 1: out of this world. Academy sports and outdoors very well

301
00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:57,120
Speaker 1: represented over in Columbia, very well represented in that portion

302
00:14:57,200 --> 00:14:59,080
Speaker 1: of the country in general, and it was just a

303
00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:01,120
Speaker 1: beautiful thing, you know, walk through I know a lot

304
00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:03,320
Speaker 1: of you camped out to get to the pregame shows

305
00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:06,000
Speaker 1: out there, and I saw tents and I saw chairs,

306
00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:08,320
Speaker 1: everything we thought we would see. And the reason I'm

307
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:10,880
Speaker 1: telling you this is because Academy is the presenting partner

308
00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:13,200
Speaker 1: of this show. They make this show free to you.

309
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:16,000
Speaker 1: Some guy the other day said, why do you say

310
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:19,760
Speaker 1: that I would never pay for this? Well, you may

311
00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:22,320
Speaker 1: be right, and maybe no one would, but you don't

312
00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:24,400
Speaker 1: have to worry about it. There is no paywall here

313
00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:26,320
Speaker 1: because Academy takes care of that, and they can take

314
00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:28,960
Speaker 1: care of you. You got back to school needs done,

315
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:32,360
Speaker 1: back to sports needs done, tailgating needs even some you

316
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:36,360
Speaker 1: didn't think could be done there i e. Grill Selection done,

317
00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:38,560
Speaker 1: Academy Sports and Outdoors and Academy dot Com. If you

318
00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:41,920
Speaker 1: can't get there in person, Okay, we move on. Got

319
00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:45,000
Speaker 1: a nice, lively live chat going on over here. Just

320
00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:47,000
Speaker 1: do me a favor. Check if you're subscribed. You know

321
00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:49,960
Speaker 1: the drill. Some of you think you're subbed, you're not,

322
00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:53,080
Speaker 1: some of you are, some of you aren't. So check.

323
00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:55,520
Speaker 1: It doesn't cost you anything, it doesn't sign you up

324
00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:58,040
Speaker 1: for anything. It just helps us. Now we're going to

325
00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:01,560
Speaker 1: get into some uncomfortable parts of the show. We couldn't

326
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:05,280
Speaker 1: make it very long without doing this. Texas A and

327
00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:09,320
Speaker 1: M thirty three, Florida twenty. You know what the headline

328
00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:11,640
Speaker 1: is here. This was a one point five Chalai game.

329
00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:15,440
Speaker 1: I can't give it much more than that. The big

330
00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:20,520
Speaker 1: topic of conversation during the game was napier. I mean, look,

331
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:24,560
Speaker 1: I can get excited about Marcel Reed, quarterback that had

332
00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:26,120
Speaker 1: to play for A and M, but that's not what

333
00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:28,520
Speaker 1: most of you were talking about. But the rule on

334
00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:31,960
Speaker 1: the show generally is we talk about winners first. So

335
00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:35,360
Speaker 1: there was there were two schools of thought here for

336
00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:36,920
Speaker 1: Florida fans, and I'll get to A and M. There

337
00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:39,480
Speaker 1: were two schools of thought. They either wanted to win

338
00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:42,480
Speaker 1: the game or they wanted a loss that was so

339
00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:45,400
Speaker 1: definitive it left no doubt as to what needs to

340
00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:47,640
Speaker 1: happen with the program. And they got one of those,

341
00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:52,280
Speaker 1: and it's the latter. So I can I can tell

342
00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:55,720
Speaker 1: you how bad this game was. Colin tuner Up, I

343
00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:58,080
Speaker 1: can tell you how bad this game was, but I

344
00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:01,080
Speaker 1: don't want to do it by myself. I need some help. Sarah,

345
00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:04,520
Speaker 1: come on in, because this one went sideways in a hurry.

346
00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:06,760
Speaker 1: The Sarah McLaughlin Special of the Week was Texas A

347
00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:11,600
Speaker 1: and M without Connor Wigman backup quarterback, red shirt freshman

348
00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:16,239
Speaker 1: Marcel Reid, Florida and must win mode. A and M

349
00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:19,480
Speaker 1: up twenty to nothing at the half, a three hundred

350
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:24,359
Speaker 1: and two to seventy three yard advantage at halftime for

351
00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:27,399
Speaker 1: the backup quarterback Marcel Reid led Texas A and M

352
00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:30,359
Speaker 1: fighting Aggie's They outrushed the Gators. This is not a

353
00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:33,879
Speaker 1: typo one ninety seven to seven in the first half,

354
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:37,520
Speaker 1: an eighteen to three first down edge in the first half.

355
00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:41,600
Speaker 1: A and M scored on the first four possessions Florida's

356
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:44,000
Speaker 1: drive chart in the first half. Bear with me, this

357
00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:50,240
Speaker 1: won't take long punt three and out punt interception. A

358
00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:52,400
Speaker 1: and M also tripled them up in time of possession

359
00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:56,639
Speaker 1: in the first half, and with that, the curtain effectively

360
00:17:56,720 --> 00:18:00,199
Speaker 1: dropped on what has been a darker and darker the

361
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:06,800
Speaker 1: week era of Florida Gators football. Thank you, Sarah, Marcel Reid.

362
00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:09,280
Speaker 1: What a story yesterday. By the way, that's not sad.

363
00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:11,280
Speaker 1: We should have happy piano music for him, maybe like

364
00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:16,159
Speaker 1: some Bruce Hornsby piano music for him. Marcel Reid was

365
00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:19,080
Speaker 1: really good yesterday for textas A and M, so much

366
00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:24,000
Speaker 1: so that I don't think we can overlook the dynamic

367
00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:26,960
Speaker 1: he brings. Now. I was lurking over on Luci's board

368
00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:29,560
Speaker 1: on Techags a little while ago, and I just wanted

369
00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:31,240
Speaker 1: to see. I don't like to do a lot of

370
00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:33,320
Speaker 1: this on Sunday because I don't want it to infiltrate

371
00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:35,280
Speaker 1: what I'm going to say. But A and M's an

372
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:36,920
Speaker 1: exception on this day because I didn't want to see

373
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:38,960
Speaker 1: what the folks over there were saying. Sure enough, a

374
00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:41,639
Speaker 1: lot of them think Marcel Reid QB one of this team.

375
00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:43,679
Speaker 1: Now we're going to find out how much Mike Elko

376
00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:46,000
Speaker 1: and his staff and Colin Klein, the OC there and

377
00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:49,080
Speaker 1: his staff trust Connor Wigman because he will be back eventually,

378
00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:53,240
Speaker 1: and they've got Bowling Green and Arkansas coming up before

379
00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:56,120
Speaker 1: I think they played Missouri. So I look at it,

380
00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:59,160
Speaker 1: and he certainly got a mobile component that I think

381
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:01,480
Speaker 1: fits pretty well Colin Klin wants to do anyway that

382
00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:04,720
Speaker 1: Wigman simply does not provide. It was a spark that

383
00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:10,000
Speaker 1: was badly needed yesterday. And yet I also remember listening

384
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:12,520
Speaker 1: to Elko talk about Wigman, and there's a lot of

385
00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:14,399
Speaker 1: confidence and there is a lot of confidence apparently that

386
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:16,800
Speaker 1: they have in him. So we don't normally see these

387
00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:20,080
Speaker 1: coaches that are very meticulous in their decision making just

388
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:24,120
Speaker 1: punt on those decisions because one game goes poorly or

389
00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:26,680
Speaker 1: a start to the season goes poorly, and then there's

390
00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:29,840
Speaker 1: a guy here they probably have a very very condensed

391
00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:33,680
Speaker 1: offensive play package for that shines in doing that. There's

392
00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:36,480
Speaker 1: a big difference in doing that and running an entire offense,

393
00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:39,880
Speaker 1: but sometimes that's the answer. So point being, we don't

394
00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:44,879
Speaker 1: really know fully what we watched yesterday. They do, and

395
00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:47,880
Speaker 1: they also know, as I think I do, this will

396
00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:50,320
Speaker 1: take care of itself because he's going to start against

397
00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:52,879
Speaker 1: Bowling Green. He's going to start against Arkansas, we think,

398
00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:56,879
Speaker 1: and then we'll reassess and by then, you know, hopefully

399
00:19:56,880 --> 00:19:59,000
Speaker 1: it's worked itself out one way or the other. But

400
00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:01,080
Speaker 1: we'll find out how much are sold on him. But

401
00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:04,720
Speaker 1: that's not really what most people respectfully cared about in

402
00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:09,399
Speaker 1: this game. We got an answer in this game, So

403
00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:15,320
Speaker 1: I had my phone blow up about this. We got

404
00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:19,280
Speaker 1: I'd say, we got everything answered that we needed to

405
00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:21,439
Speaker 1: about Billy Napier. He's gonna be fired. He won't be

406
00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:24,119
Speaker 1: the Florida head coach for very much longer. So the

407
00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:27,200
Speaker 1: win is the only question because we know the who, what, why,

408
00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:30,560
Speaker 1: We know all that, Uh, Billy Napier's not gonna be

409
00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:32,760
Speaker 1: the head coach there much longer. I hate it because

410
00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:35,040
Speaker 1: I like Billy Napier. It's been really good to us.

411
00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:37,120
Speaker 1: His staff down there has been really good to us.

412
00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:39,040
Speaker 1: I don't like talking about it. I don't do a

413
00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:41,960
Speaker 1: lot of hot seat stuff on the show, you guys.

414
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:44,040
Speaker 1: Sometimes the ones who want to hate be haters of

415
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:48,199
Speaker 1: the show claim that we do some clickbaiting. No, no,

416
00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:50,600
Speaker 1: if we were a clickbait show, we just do hot

417
00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:52,679
Speaker 1: seat talk every week and playoff talk every week. We

418
00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:55,480
Speaker 1: actually are the antithesis of that. And the reason is

419
00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:59,280
Speaker 1: I don't feel so bad for the head coaches, although

420
00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:01,639
Speaker 1: I do. I know the hundreds of other people that

421
00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:04,920
Speaker 1: it impacts, and knowing the Florida program like I do,

422
00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:07,000
Speaker 1: I know a lot of folks in the Florida program,

423
00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:09,199
Speaker 1: and I think they've got some people. I do not

424
00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:11,240
Speaker 1: take back anything I said in the spring. By the way,

425
00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:14,400
Speaker 1: that are a world class in what they do. There

426
00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:18,800
Speaker 1: are very very good folks. I don't just mean good hearted,

427
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:20,679
Speaker 1: because you can have a good heart and suck at

428
00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:22,359
Speaker 1: this stuff and you can be a turd and be

429
00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:24,920
Speaker 1: great at it. So I don't mean that. I mean

430
00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:28,080
Speaker 1: there are a lot of world class folks in various departments.

431
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:30,520
Speaker 1: Some you'd know about, some you wouldn't know about. That

432
00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:33,240
Speaker 1: I think bilit did a really really good job of

433
00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:36,439
Speaker 1: hiring and putting in place. It is turned out that

434
00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:38,560
Speaker 1: he couldn't get the job done as the head coach there.

435
00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:42,800
Speaker 1: But what I'm fascinated by is the whole dynamic, whether

436
00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:46,080
Speaker 1: it be recruiting or nutrition or strength or sports science,

437
00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:49,480
Speaker 1: the pieces they've got down there. I'm in every word

438
00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:51,119
Speaker 1: I said in the spring when I said when you

439
00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:53,080
Speaker 1: walk through that place, when you meet with those folks,

440
00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:55,880
Speaker 1: it's every bit the same as Bama Georgia. The critical

441
00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:59,640
Speaker 1: difference there I think's obvious, But that does not mean

442
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:02,760
Speaker 1: that the root system was poisoned. It's not. There's a

443
00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:05,359
Speaker 1: lot to love about what Florida has behind the scenes.

444
00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:08,879
Speaker 1: And so what I wonder is, as we approach what

445
00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:12,680
Speaker 1: seems to be an inevitable coaching search, I wonder if

446
00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:16,639
Speaker 1: it's the typical flush job that you do when you

447
00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:19,840
Speaker 1: fire a coach. I'm not sure that would be the

448
00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:23,120
Speaker 1: wisest approach, knowing what they have behind the scenes down there,

449
00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:26,240
Speaker 1: and what I'm saying is a lot of what you

450
00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:29,200
Speaker 1: look to put in place when you're a new hire,

451
00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:31,480
Speaker 1: Like if they hired me as the head coach down there,

452
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:33,439
Speaker 1: a lot of what I'd love to put in place,

453
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:36,639
Speaker 1: it's already there. You may have tweaked, you may have

454
00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:38,879
Speaker 1: changes you want to make cosmetically here and there, and

455
00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:41,119
Speaker 1: there may be twenty percent degree changes you want to

456
00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:43,119
Speaker 1: make there and here, But there are a lot of

457
00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:45,600
Speaker 1: good pieces in there already, and they've done a really

458
00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:50,200
Speaker 1: good job. They spend a ton of money and resources

459
00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:53,359
Speaker 1: and manpower to fill those spots. And I don't know

460
00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:54,920
Speaker 1: how long this is going to take, and I don't

461
00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:58,320
Speaker 1: know when it's going to happen, But when it happens,

462
00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:03,560
Speaker 1: I really wonder is bathwater thrown out as well or

463
00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:05,439
Speaker 1: do you look at it and you say, hmm, there

464
00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:07,600
Speaker 1: actually may be some really good pieces. Kaylin Deboor is

465
00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:10,479
Speaker 1: a very recent example. Now he's taking over for a

466
00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:13,480
Speaker 1: retired head coach who's one of the greatest of all time.

467
00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:16,440
Speaker 1: So it's understandable. Nick Saban would have a really, really

468
00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:19,800
Speaker 1: rock solid infrastructure in place, and you wouldn't want to

469
00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:23,520
Speaker 1: change everything about it. Billy Napier, on the surface, looks

470
00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:26,080
Speaker 1: to be a failed head coach. Therefore the assumption would

471
00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:29,439
Speaker 1: be everything associated with him would be that. And I

472
00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:33,199
Speaker 1: promise you it's not that. So whoever it is that

473
00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:35,240
Speaker 1: ends up taking the job down there, which is not

474
00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:37,640
Speaker 1: vacated yet. There has been no move on him yet,

475
00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:40,080
Speaker 1: but I assume that it's going to happen. When that happens,

476
00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:43,560
Speaker 1: whatever my advice is worth is whatever it's worth. I

477
00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:47,639
Speaker 1: take a long, hard look at operationally and organizationally a

478
00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:51,040
Speaker 1: lot of the pieces, because you probably are inheriting pieces

479
00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:52,400
Speaker 1: that were a whole lot better than what you had

480
00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:54,640
Speaker 1: at your previous stop. And I don't even know who's

481
00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:58,120
Speaker 1: getting the job. I'm just saying blindly. I know what

482
00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:00,000
Speaker 1: most of the other programs have. I know what Florida's

483
00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:02,400
Speaker 1: got down there. It makes it all the more befuddling

484
00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:06,399
Speaker 1: that they haven't been able to win this year. So

485
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:08,960
Speaker 1: the whole New Saturday tour and let me pull something

486
00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:12,919
Speaker 1: up right quick. So yesterday we were in South Carolina

487
00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:16,399
Speaker 1: and we were at Williams Brice Stadium. Great trip, wonderful trip,

488
00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:18,760
Speaker 1: my favorite trip that we've taken so far this year.

489
00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:21,680
Speaker 1: But as you know, Sunday night's when we turn the page.

490
00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:25,359
Speaker 1: So week three is in the rearview mirror. Week four

491
00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:28,240
Speaker 1: is right there in the windshield. So quick trip has

492
00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:32,119
Speaker 1: fueled the tour every week they will continue to do. So.

493
00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:34,159
Speaker 1: There are a couple of things that you've heard me

494
00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:37,119
Speaker 1: say on the show about bucket list locations if you

495
00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:40,080
Speaker 1: followed me for a while last year. As you know,

496
00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:42,240
Speaker 1: we knocked one off the list because we got to

497
00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:44,439
Speaker 1: go to a Utah game. And I've never been to

498
00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:47,000
Speaker 1: a game at Utah before, but there's been one. There

499
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:49,520
Speaker 1: have been two really that have bugged me for a

500
00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:51,600
Speaker 1: long time. I've never been able to go one of

501
00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:54,159
Speaker 1: the'ms Virginia Tech. We still have not been to a

502
00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:58,320
Speaker 1: home game at Virginia Tech. And I can't do anything

503
00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:00,879
Speaker 1: about that this week. But I'll tell you what I

504
00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:03,240
Speaker 1: can do something about. We have never been to a

505
00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:08,040
Speaker 1: game in Norman, Oklahoma and Colin. That ends in six days.

506
00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:10,840
Speaker 1: Five days actually, if you count, today is already having

507
00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:13,000
Speaker 1: gone by because the whole New Saturday tour is headed

508
00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:18,480
Speaker 1: to Norman Saturday night Tennessee at Oklahoma. I've been circling

509
00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:21,920
Speaker 1: this for a while. It is the sec opener for Oklahoma.

510
00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:24,800
Speaker 1: It is it is Josh Heipel going back to Norman.

511
00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:27,680
Speaker 1: It is prime time. And while you know I love

512
00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:30,960
Speaker 1: a good Saturday eleven am local time kickoff, I think

513
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:34,439
Speaker 1: this one's properly placed. There are you people happy? I

514
00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:37,080
Speaker 1: don't swear by noonkickoffs? Okay, there is a time and

515
00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:39,000
Speaker 1: a place for a primetime kick I just don't think

516
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:42,280
Speaker 1: it has to be every week. But quick trip is

517
00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:48,119
Speaker 1: on every corner in Oklahoma. Gas station wars are palpable

518
00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:53,120
Speaker 1: in the great state of Oklahoma. I go to Oklahoma

519
00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:55,560
Speaker 1: all the time to Stormchase. This is my first trip

520
00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:58,879
Speaker 1: to Oklahoma for a football game. I cannot wait. So

521
00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:01,080
Speaker 1: we'll be on the sideline there Saturday night. Never been

522
00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:04,600
Speaker 1: to the stadium, just driven past it. Wonderful people out there,

523
00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:10,280
Speaker 1: highly highly looking forward to this trip. Now back to yesterday.

524
00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:14,240
Speaker 1: What were you doing last night? Because I was watching

525
00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:17,760
Speaker 1: Georgia survive against Kentucky. I was flying home from the

526
00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:21,200
Speaker 1: game and I'm there, and you know you're in TSA,

527
00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:24,200
Speaker 1: So you got to put your phone away and Kentucky's leading,

528
00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:27,200
Speaker 1: and then you're in the terminal and you're bored in

529
00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:29,800
Speaker 1: the flight, and you have to put the phone away

530
00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:32,760
Speaker 1: again for a second as you take off, and Kentucky's

531
00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:35,679
Speaker 1: still leading. And then you crank up your internet when

532
00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:38,800
Speaker 1: you get to ten thousand feet and Kentucky's still leading.

533
00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:42,560
Speaker 1: What is happening here? And what was happening was Georgia

534
00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:45,000
Speaker 1: was playing the Clemson game all over again. They just

535
00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:47,919
Speaker 1: didn't get the second half offensive explosion. I give this

536
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:49,840
Speaker 1: game two and a half Chili out of five on

537
00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:54,240
Speaker 1: the rating scale because it was lower scoring, not a

538
00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:57,159
Speaker 1: ton of offense, which I don't always need, but it

539
00:26:57,280 --> 00:26:59,600
Speaker 1: was an interesting game that ends up with Georgia pulling

540
00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:03,280
Speaker 1: it out team to twelve. Now, as most Georgia fans do,

541
00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:06,879
Speaker 1: I also look at Georgia and I hold them to

542
00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:10,080
Speaker 1: a different standard. Just like if Ohio State struggles in

543
00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:12,880
Speaker 1: a win or Bama struggles or Texas, if they struggle

544
00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:16,600
Speaker 1: in a win against a team they're solidly favored against,

545
00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:20,720
Speaker 1: I will judge them a little more harshly. So there's

546
00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:22,840
Speaker 1: a fair amount of that to be had here with Georgia.

547
00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:24,879
Speaker 1: I don't think it's freak out time, and I'll tell

548
00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:31,760
Speaker 1: you why Georgia has done this before. Last year, Georgia

549
00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:34,159
Speaker 1: a trailed South Carolina at the half at home. You

550
00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:36,959
Speaker 1: guys remember that they were on the ropes against Auburn

551
00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:39,560
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter, down on the planes. A couple

552
00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:41,879
Speaker 1: of years ago. They go to Missouri. A lot of

553
00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:45,560
Speaker 1: them remember that, and Missouri still believes that they should

554
00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:47,679
Speaker 1: have had that game won, but they didn't. Oh and

555
00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:50,159
Speaker 1: by the way, that same year, twenty twenty two, they

556
00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:53,640
Speaker 1: won the national title. They beat Kentucky sixteen to six

557
00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:56,760
Speaker 1: in a bowling shoe ugly game. Up there. Stetson Bennett

558
00:27:56,800 --> 00:28:00,320
Speaker 1: had by far his worst performance. So Kentucky kind of

559
00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:03,520
Speaker 1: does this sometimes. I know they were terrible last week

560
00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:07,040
Speaker 1: and it lulled apparently everyone, including Georgia's team, into a

561
00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:11,480
Speaker 1: fallse sense of security. But I was looking today at

562
00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:15,000
Speaker 1: my inbox and someone DMed me and they said, well,

563
00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:16,919
Speaker 1: are you going to take back what you said about Georgia?

564
00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:19,480
Speaker 1: And I'm like, what did I say? Now? They said, well,

565
00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:22,919
Speaker 1: you you claim Georgia never sleepwalks into a game. I

566
00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:25,240
Speaker 1: knew what he was talking about. Of course, I was misquoted.

567
00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:28,440
Speaker 1: I didn't say Georgia never sleepwalks. I said, george is

568
00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:31,399
Speaker 1: never unprepared to play. The coaching staff never fails to

569
00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:34,160
Speaker 1: have them prepared. Nor do I think they were unprepared

570
00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:37,240
Speaker 1: in this game, just like in those games I listed there,

571
00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:39,440
Speaker 1: I mean there were years. There's a year there where

572
00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:43,240
Speaker 1: they slept walked twice. If you want to call it that,

573
00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:45,360
Speaker 1: you could just call it a dog fight in a

574
00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:48,560
Speaker 1: year where they won the national title. So Georgia I

575
00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:50,800
Speaker 1: think was prepared. They just got into a fight. They

576
00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:52,920
Speaker 1: didn't score early, they didn't score much at all. They

577
00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:55,760
Speaker 1: got into a fight. Kentucky led them in total yards

578
00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:58,520
Speaker 1: one hundred and thirty to sixty three, and had the

579
00:28:58,520 --> 00:29:02,600
Speaker 1: outright lead at the half twelve to three first down edge.

580
00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:06,480
Speaker 1: I mean, if Kentucky had any kind of wherewithal about

581
00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:08,760
Speaker 1: themselves offensively, they try and put the game away early.

582
00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:11,280
Speaker 1: Could have put the game away early. Georgia's defense has

583
00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:13,680
Speaker 1: a lot to do with that. So that'll go into

584
00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:15,240
Speaker 1: something I'm going to talk about in just a second.

585
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:18,840
Speaker 1: Georgia was in a dangerous position last night, not just

586
00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:21,040
Speaker 1: the fact that they could have lost the game. Kirby

587
00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:23,520
Speaker 1: talked about it after the game. If you were following

588
00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:26,320
Speaker 1: practice reports, leading up to this game. They're banged up

589
00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:29,720
Speaker 1: on the defensive front and they're not deep there. Part

590
00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:33,280
Speaker 1: of the reason why I was a little more hesitant

591
00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:36,840
Speaker 1: while everyone was bullish on them in the preseason was

592
00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:39,360
Speaker 1: because this was a fear of mine. So they had

593
00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:42,760
Speaker 1: three defensive linemen each played fifty plus snaps last night,

594
00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:48,240
Speaker 1: and the next closest guy played seventeen. They were very thin.

595
00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:51,959
Speaker 1: They're lucky they were playing Kentucky, hey, because if they

596
00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:54,040
Speaker 1: had a team that ran a little more pace in tempo,

597
00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:55,960
Speaker 1: the trade off may have been they got them off

598
00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:58,440
Speaker 1: the field more because they were less physical, But had

599
00:29:58,440 --> 00:30:00,560
Speaker 1: they gotten a team that sustained some dry on them,

600
00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:03,440
Speaker 1: they would have been gassed much earlier than a normal

601
00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:05,520
Speaker 1: Georgia team would be gas because they didn't have the depth,

602
00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:07,800
Speaker 1: they didn't have the manpower. They got to buy now

603
00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:10,280
Speaker 1: at the perfect time. But there was a part of

604
00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:15,520
Speaker 1: this afterwards that I thought was interesting and intentional by

605
00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:19,280
Speaker 1: Kirby Smart. So, you know, they've had a lot of

606
00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:22,040
Speaker 1: off the field issues. They had another one this past

607
00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:24,360
Speaker 1: week where a guy got arrested for driving over one

608
00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:26,920
Speaker 1: hundred up there in an area of Athens. I know well,

609
00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:29,080
Speaker 1: and you got no business driving over one hundred in

610
00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:33,200
Speaker 1: that part of Athens, Georgia. So I'll tell you what.

611
00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:35,960
Speaker 1: I'll let Colin play what Kirby said after this game.

612
00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:39,080
Speaker 1: I want you to pay close attention to the words

613
00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:43,160
Speaker 1: he uses and pay close attention to the criticism that's

614
00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:44,840
Speaker 1: been thrown at that program. Let's roll it.

615
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:47,720
Speaker 3: I honestly believe he won this game with culture, and

616
00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:51,560
Speaker 3: the culture of our team never panicked. I saw more

617
00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:54,600
Speaker 3: leadership tonight than I've seen all season. And you guys

618
00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:57,520
Speaker 3: have asked me a thousand questions about this team, this,

619
00:30:57,640 --> 00:30:59,560
Speaker 3: what about this team this? I don't know much about

620
00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:01,960
Speaker 3: this team. I found out more tonight than I've known

621
00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:05,080
Speaker 3: up to this point, and that makes me extremely proud

622
00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:09,080
Speaker 3: of how they responded and how they handle some difficult situations.

623
00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:14,840
Speaker 1: So this thing's pretty nuanced. Georgia's got off the field

624
00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:19,920
Speaker 1: issues with driving related arrests and citations, and so I'm

625
00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:21,640
Speaker 1: on record as saying I think they got one of

626
00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:24,880
Speaker 1: the best cultures competitively in the sport. So then when

627
00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:26,880
Speaker 1: the off the field stuff happens like it did again

628
00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:29,760
Speaker 1: last week, I got a ton of folks I can

629
00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:31,440
Speaker 1: just guarantee hundreds of them are going to come at

630
00:31:31,440 --> 00:31:33,560
Speaker 1: me and say, I thought you said they got great culture. Boy,

631
00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:35,479
Speaker 1: I bet you're ready to eat those words. Well, I'm

632
00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:38,800
Speaker 1: kinda not. I'm kind of not, cause competitively, I still

633
00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:41,400
Speaker 1: think they've got the best culture in college football. It

634
00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:47,240
Speaker 1: is a very nuanced discussion competitive culture versus overall leadership

635
00:31:47,360 --> 00:31:52,280
Speaker 1: and overall accountability beyond the field. Those are ovously two

636
00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:54,600
Speaker 1: different things. Because Georgia's got a mess on their hands

637
00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:57,000
Speaker 1: in one of those compartments, and they got a really

638
00:31:57,080 --> 00:31:59,520
Speaker 1: rock solid situation on their hands in the other compartment.

639
00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:03,880
Speaker 1: Will it ultimately cost you? I don't know. That's what

640
00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:06,920
Speaker 1: we play the games for. We have tail as old

641
00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:10,960
Speaker 1: as time. You season after season you've got teams that

642
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:14,440
Speaker 1: fall short of expectation, and afterwards, when you get into

643
00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:17,560
Speaker 1: spring and you're listening to stories when people don't have

644
00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:19,840
Speaker 1: to keep their mouth shut about the previous year's team anymore,

645
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:22,840
Speaker 1: you hear a story after story of well we just

646
00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:24,960
Speaker 1: didn't have the right kind of leadership, Well we didn't

647
00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:26,920
Speaker 1: have the right kind of guys in the foxhol Who knows,

648
00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:29,240
Speaker 1: maybe they say that about this Georgia team down the road,

649
00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:32,200
Speaker 1: But I do know Kirby smart knows his team better

650
00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:35,280
Speaker 1: than me or anyone else does. And I do know

651
00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:37,800
Speaker 1: he is not flippant with that kind of language. So

652
00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:40,960
Speaker 1: he's heard it. He's heard folks questioning their culture. They

653
00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:43,479
Speaker 1: take it really personal. They take it personal because they

654
00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:45,760
Speaker 1: think they've got really, really good culture. They work a

655
00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:48,880
Speaker 1: lot on it. Everyone does. But the reason I'm so

656
00:32:49,880 --> 00:32:52,520
Speaker 1: animated sometimes when I talk about this is because I

657
00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:56,960
Speaker 1: know how militant they've been about getting that stuff right

658
00:32:57,160 --> 00:32:59,360
Speaker 1: and it just hasn't worked. And it makes you pull

659
00:32:59,360 --> 00:33:01,560
Speaker 1: your hair out because you think you're doing everything you

660
00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:04,320
Speaker 1: know to do, and then you got folks coming in saying, well, no,

661
00:33:04,360 --> 00:33:06,680
Speaker 1: you haven't done everything. You could just kick them off

662
00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:09,360
Speaker 1: the team. You could have a zero tolerance policy, and

663
00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:14,400
Speaker 1: I'm like, you'd never do that. I got folks with

664
00:33:14,520 --> 00:33:17,360
Speaker 1: a serious look on their face telling me, well, you know,

665
00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:20,440
Speaker 1: Kirby Smart's policy should be that anytime someone has a

666
00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:23,400
Speaker 1: first offense traffic related, they should be kicked off the team.

667
00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:26,520
Speaker 1: That's stupid, and you would never do that. Now you know,

668
00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:28,000
Speaker 1: good and well you can run your mouth and say

669
00:33:28,040 --> 00:33:30,440
Speaker 1: that because no one's ever going to put a football

670
00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:33,200
Speaker 1: program in your hands. You'll never lead one, so you'll

671
00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:36,120
Speaker 1: never have to implement rules that would get you fired.

672
00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:38,320
Speaker 1: That is a very, very dumb way to run a

673
00:33:38,320 --> 00:33:41,080
Speaker 1: football program. Now, the flip side of that coin is

674
00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:43,440
Speaker 1: when the same thing keeps happening over and over and

675
00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:45,600
Speaker 1: over again, you got a search until you find the

676
00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:49,200
Speaker 1: right answer. But I my take that has gotten a

677
00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:52,240
Speaker 1: lot of criticism is I look past that. Yeah, it's

678
00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:56,480
Speaker 1: ultimately his job. Yeah, it's ultimately his responsibility. I look

679
00:33:56,520 --> 00:33:58,560
Speaker 1: past that, and I look at the locker room, and

680
00:33:58,600 --> 00:34:01,960
Speaker 1: I say, outside of the view of coaches, when is

681
00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:04,680
Speaker 1: someone else gonna take accountability and take control of their team?

682
00:34:05,080 --> 00:34:07,240
Speaker 1: Kirby Smart can be their fifty more years if he wants.

683
00:34:07,320 --> 00:34:09,279
Speaker 1: If you're a junior or senior on that team, you

684
00:34:09,680 --> 00:34:11,840
Speaker 1: got a few years and then you'll come back to

685
00:34:11,880 --> 00:34:14,680
Speaker 1: Athens forty years from now. And unlike Kirby Smart, who

686
00:34:14,680 --> 00:34:16,680
Speaker 1: will have a bunch of rings to talk about, you've

687
00:34:16,680 --> 00:34:19,680
Speaker 1: got this little three, four, five year snapshot, and that's

688
00:34:19,719 --> 00:34:22,360
Speaker 1: your story, that's your Georgia's story. You really want to

689
00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:24,719
Speaker 1: let it get pissed away and fall short of expectation

690
00:34:25,080 --> 00:34:27,520
Speaker 1: because folks can't keep their head on straight off the field.

691
00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:31,279
Speaker 1: That's been my take on that. So back to the

692
00:34:31,280 --> 00:34:35,839
Speaker 1: football related matters. I think there's gonna be there's gonna

693
00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:37,359
Speaker 1: be a tendency for a lot of people. I think

694
00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:41,040
Speaker 1: watching Georgia survive a close whim and they're gonna say, oh,

695
00:34:41,040 --> 00:34:43,160
Speaker 1: this is exactly what Georgia needed. Now, I think this

696
00:34:43,200 --> 00:34:45,960
Speaker 1: is mainly folks wanting to make themselves feel better. And

697
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:49,040
Speaker 1: sometimes it happens. Sometimes you play an ugly game and

698
00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:52,640
Speaker 1: you have sky high capability and it triggers something in

699
00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:54,799
Speaker 1: your team collectively and they end up being way better

700
00:34:54,840 --> 00:34:57,880
Speaker 1: for it. Other times, you just keep saying that to

701
00:34:57,920 --> 00:35:00,480
Speaker 1: yourself and you're ignoring the obvious is you got a

702
00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:03,239
Speaker 1: flawed football team. So there could be a little bit

703
00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:04,960
Speaker 1: of both him play here with Georgia. But I'm just

704
00:35:05,239 --> 00:35:07,040
Speaker 1: I was asking because I had one of my buddies,

705
00:35:07,120 --> 00:35:09,880
Speaker 1: a cousin of mine actually, who said not by blood,

706
00:35:09,960 --> 00:35:13,160
Speaker 1: I just call him a cousin. I had that person

707
00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:15,959
Speaker 1: telling me last night, you know, I'm glad we won,

708
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:17,799
Speaker 1: but I'm glad we won this way because this is

709
00:35:17,840 --> 00:35:20,240
Speaker 1: exactly what this team needed. And I said they needed

710
00:35:20,239 --> 00:35:22,759
Speaker 1: it to do what he said, Well, we'll just wake

711
00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:26,799
Speaker 1: up now, I said, and do what he said. Well,

712
00:35:26,920 --> 00:35:29,680
Speaker 1: I mean the offense will finally get clicking. Well, they

713
00:35:29,719 --> 00:35:32,839
Speaker 1: better because that offensive line is supposed to be one

714
00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:35,120
Speaker 1: of the best in the country, it is not right now.

715
00:35:35,560 --> 00:35:38,120
Speaker 1: At running game supposed to be a strength of a team,

716
00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:40,719
Speaker 1: it's not right now. Running backs were bad and pass

717
00:35:40,760 --> 00:35:43,400
Speaker 1: pro last night as well. Carson back was under duress

718
00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:46,120
Speaker 1: a whole lot more than he has business being under duress.

719
00:35:46,560 --> 00:35:49,839
Speaker 1: And so this was a top five scoring offense last

720
00:35:49,920 --> 00:35:53,560
Speaker 1: year and their profile I thought, looked to be every

721
00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:55,880
Speaker 1: bit on par with what they had the capability of

722
00:35:55,920 --> 00:35:58,359
Speaker 1: doing last year. And it's not there right now, and

723
00:35:58,600 --> 00:36:01,040
Speaker 1: you cannot do anything but that offensive line a little

724
00:36:01,040 --> 00:36:03,480
Speaker 1: bit of a disappointment so far this year and especially

725
00:36:03,560 --> 00:36:08,319
Speaker 1: last night. So the difference is George's got the capability

726
00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:10,960
Speaker 1: of being the best team in the country. So all

727
00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:13,960
Speaker 1: these units, all these pieces, that wide receiver corp included

728
00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:17,680
Speaker 1: that quarterback, obviously those running backs, they've got the potential

729
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:19,640
Speaker 1: to be among the best in the country at doing

730
00:36:19,680 --> 00:36:22,640
Speaker 1: what they do. Other places have a much lower ceiling

731
00:36:22,680 --> 00:36:25,839
Speaker 1: on their position rooms and their offensive unit than Georgia does.

732
00:36:26,360 --> 00:36:28,560
Speaker 1: So if this is the moment that it takes to

733
00:36:28,560 --> 00:36:30,879
Speaker 1: wake them up, so be it, and good on them.

734
00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:33,640
Speaker 1: I don't automatically assume that happens. So they got a

735
00:36:33,640 --> 00:36:37,600
Speaker 1: bye week. Their next game is two Saturdays from now

736
00:36:37,680 --> 00:36:43,719
Speaker 1: in primetime in Bryant Denny Stadium. So what I'm saying is,

737
00:36:43,840 --> 00:36:46,759
Speaker 1: it's not UT Chattanooga coming up next. We will have

738
00:36:46,840 --> 00:36:50,000
Speaker 1: some pretty definitive answers. Now, it's a twelve team playoff now,

739
00:36:50,040 --> 00:36:51,480
Speaker 1: so you can lose two or three games to still

740
00:36:51,480 --> 00:36:54,319
Speaker 1: get in. So you won't have the tightrope walk, you

741
00:36:54,360 --> 00:36:57,160
Speaker 1: won't have the do or die sort of environment around

742
00:36:57,239 --> 00:37:00,200
Speaker 1: that game like you used to have, but you'll you'll

743
00:37:00,280 --> 00:37:02,799
Speaker 1: learn a lot about both those teams. And while we're

744
00:37:02,840 --> 00:37:05,080
Speaker 1: at it, let's go ahead and talk about that other team.

745
00:37:05,640 --> 00:37:07,960
Speaker 1: We almost went to Madison yesterday. Do you know that

746
00:37:08,160 --> 00:37:15,560
Speaker 1: I was choosing as recently as last Saturday morning. We

747
00:37:15,640 --> 00:37:19,640
Speaker 1: had already booked our travel to Madison for Alabama Georgia.

748
00:37:19,680 --> 00:37:22,080
Speaker 1: I'm just killing time as I restart my computer, and

749
00:37:22,120 --> 00:37:25,160
Speaker 1: we were going up there, and I had seen two

750
00:37:25,200 --> 00:37:28,840
Speaker 1: blowouts already, and I thought the Bamma Wisconsin game was

751
00:37:28,840 --> 00:37:31,520
Speaker 1: a whole lot more likely to deliver us another blowout.

752
00:37:31,560 --> 00:37:33,680
Speaker 1: So we called an audible, as you can do in

753
00:37:33,719 --> 00:37:37,359
Speaker 1: this sport, and we ended up in Columbia, and well,

754
00:37:37,400 --> 00:37:38,879
Speaker 1: what do you know, we're back on track. We saw

755
00:37:38,880 --> 00:37:42,760
Speaker 1: a close game. But and Colin, here's a good endpoint

756
00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:45,399
Speaker 1: for you. Those of you who were in Madison. Yeah,

757
00:37:45,440 --> 00:37:47,440
Speaker 1: you may have scheduled that trip a while back. You

758
00:37:47,440 --> 00:37:49,160
Speaker 1: thought you were going to see a good game. Forty

759
00:37:49,200 --> 00:37:52,160
Speaker 1: two to ten, it'splattering. This was a one point five

760
00:37:52,280 --> 00:37:54,800
Speaker 1: chali game on a scale of one to five. Bama

761
00:37:54,840 --> 00:37:57,359
Speaker 1: fans loved it pretty much. No one else did. I've

762
00:37:57,360 --> 00:38:02,040
Speaker 1: got your padlock stat right, here's a weird one elevenh

763
00:38:02,080 --> 00:38:05,319
Speaker 1: one to go in the first quarter. Tyler Van Dyke

764
00:38:05,400 --> 00:38:09,080
Speaker 1: is out for the game. The game is over. That's it.

765
00:38:09,560 --> 00:38:11,960
Speaker 1: I'm not certainly not telling you Wisconsin is in this

766
00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:14,560
Speaker 1: if he's healthy, but they certainly weren't going to be

767
00:38:14,600 --> 00:38:17,359
Speaker 1: in it without their starting quarterback. The game script kind

768
00:38:17,360 --> 00:38:19,640
Speaker 1: of tracked right along with what we expected. I didn't

769
00:38:19,680 --> 00:38:21,880
Speaker 1: think that Wisconsin would be able to stop Bama running

770
00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:24,479
Speaker 1: the ball, period, and especially if they didn't go heavy

771
00:38:24,480 --> 00:38:27,040
Speaker 1: box on them, and they did that, and that makes

772
00:38:27,080 --> 00:38:30,080
Speaker 1: you susceptible to what Alabama does best offensively, which is

773
00:38:30,120 --> 00:38:33,120
Speaker 1: just pop you over the top. And Bama did it. Repeatedly. Yesterday,

774
00:38:33,160 --> 00:38:35,600
Speaker 1: they had five passes of twenty plus yards and they

775
00:38:35,600 --> 00:38:38,480
Speaker 1: still ran for nearly six yards per carry. So Wisconsin

776
00:38:38,520 --> 00:38:41,520
Speaker 1: didn't really do anything they wanted to do. So here's

777
00:38:41,560 --> 00:38:46,320
Speaker 1: what's funny about college football, which I love college football.

778
00:38:47,080 --> 00:38:51,399
Speaker 1: Spring camp buzz and fall camp buzz. It can burn

779
00:38:51,520 --> 00:38:54,200
Speaker 1: you or it can make you look like a genius.

780
00:38:54,600 --> 00:38:57,640
Speaker 1: We've experienced it all just with Alabama. So last year,

781
00:38:58,120 --> 00:39:01,600
Speaker 1: you remember how bullish we were. I say we to

782
00:39:01,640 --> 00:39:04,160
Speaker 1: deflect some of the blame because it's just me, but

783
00:39:04,320 --> 00:39:07,000
Speaker 1: you remember how bullish I was on Bama's offensive line

784
00:39:07,160 --> 00:39:10,560
Speaker 1: early last season, Like coming into camp, coming into the season,

785
00:39:10,800 --> 00:39:12,520
Speaker 1: thought that'd be the best unit in the country. They

786
00:39:12,560 --> 00:39:15,319
Speaker 1: just weren't. Now, they ended up rounding into form and

787
00:39:15,360 --> 00:39:18,000
Speaker 1: they kind of low key won the SEC and leaned

788
00:39:18,040 --> 00:39:20,239
Speaker 1: on Georgia to do it. So that offensive line ended

789
00:39:20,320 --> 00:39:22,640
Speaker 1: up being a really good unit. However, it was not

790
00:39:23,320 --> 00:39:25,759
Speaker 1: at all early in the season what I thought it

791
00:39:25,760 --> 00:39:28,640
Speaker 1: to be, and they were a turnstile and allowing Jalen

792
00:39:28,680 --> 00:39:31,759
Speaker 1: Milroe to get sacked. But the other side of that

793
00:39:31,800 --> 00:39:36,880
Speaker 1: equation is sometimes that fall camp buzz is legit. So

794
00:39:36,960 --> 00:39:40,680
Speaker 1: we were here in some insane comparisons and some insane

795
00:39:40,719 --> 00:39:43,880
Speaker 1: feedback on Ryan Williams, the true freshman who skipped a

796
00:39:43,920 --> 00:39:47,040
Speaker 1: grade in high school. As has been noted on every broadcast,

797
00:39:47,040 --> 00:39:49,160
Speaker 1: he's seventeen years old. He's not even going to be

798
00:39:49,200 --> 00:39:53,000
Speaker 1: able to vote in this election. And yet I guarantee

799
00:39:53,040 --> 00:39:54,960
Speaker 1: a lot of folks would vote him offensive Player of

800
00:39:54,960 --> 00:39:57,640
Speaker 1: the year on that team so far, at least at

801
00:39:57,680 --> 00:40:01,720
Speaker 1: the wide receiver position. Monster like one hundred and seventy pounds,

802
00:40:01,760 --> 00:40:04,480
Speaker 1: soaking wet, but monster. And so we were hearing all

803
00:40:04,520 --> 00:40:06,439
Speaker 1: that out of Fall Camp, and I know I mentioned

804
00:40:06,520 --> 00:40:08,359
Speaker 1: him a lot on the show, but I was almost like,

805
00:40:08,920 --> 00:40:12,040
Speaker 1: I was almost hesitant because people kept throwing around these

806
00:40:12,080 --> 00:40:15,640
Speaker 1: absurd comparisons. They kept throwing around Julio Jones, that's what

807
00:40:15,680 --> 00:40:18,160
Speaker 1: they kept throwing around. Certainly not in body type. Those

808
00:40:18,200 --> 00:40:19,960
Speaker 1: two don't even look like they come from the same

809
00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:24,239
Speaker 1: planet physically, But the impact he was having in practice

810
00:40:24,400 --> 00:40:26,279
Speaker 1: is very reminiscent for people who had been around the

811
00:40:26,320 --> 00:40:28,359
Speaker 1: program a long time to what Julio was doing as

812
00:40:28,360 --> 00:40:31,840
Speaker 1: a true freshman. So you're just your automatic default is okay,

813
00:40:31,840 --> 00:40:34,360
Speaker 1: there's no way that's true. And now you look at

814
00:40:34,440 --> 00:40:36,960
Speaker 1: him on the field and it may have been true,

815
00:40:37,400 --> 00:40:39,680
Speaker 1: and so he goes off yesterday. But I'll tell you

816
00:40:39,719 --> 00:40:44,279
Speaker 1: the other thing is when you watch them, this is

817
00:40:44,360 --> 00:40:48,160
Speaker 1: not an offense so far that just hums. They've got

818
00:40:48,280 --> 00:40:52,120
Speaker 1: mis cues. Intermediate pass games not there. They'll stall every

819
00:40:52,200 --> 00:40:55,520
Speaker 1: now and then. But the difference, at least early in,

820
00:40:55,640 --> 00:40:59,359
Speaker 1: like watching Georgia last night versus watching Bama early on

821
00:40:59,440 --> 00:41:03,760
Speaker 1: in the Wiscond game, is when Bama's struggling, when Bama's

822
00:41:03,800 --> 00:41:06,319
Speaker 1: not moving the ball, it feels like you're living downstream

823
00:41:06,600 --> 00:41:10,960
Speaker 1: of a compromised dam. And even though it's dry, like

824
00:41:11,120 --> 00:41:13,920
Speaker 1: any second, you know the flood could come. Any second,

825
00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:16,120
Speaker 1: you know the explosive play could come. And that's an

826
00:41:16,120 --> 00:41:18,359
Speaker 1: element they had last year, but they've got it even

827
00:41:18,360 --> 00:41:21,080
Speaker 1: more this year. Milroe's got fourteen touchdowns and no picks.

828
00:41:21,480 --> 00:41:25,320
Speaker 1: He's only been sacked five times. Padlock stap Milroe five

829
00:41:25,480 --> 00:41:28,920
Speaker 1: sacks so far this year. He got sacked four or

830
00:41:29,040 --> 00:41:32,920
Speaker 1: more times in eight different games last year. So the

831
00:41:32,960 --> 00:41:37,520
Speaker 1: offensive line's upgraded at Milroe's pocket awareness, upgrade him. Where's

832
00:41:37,520 --> 00:41:40,640
Speaker 1: the intermediate passing game? Guys, it's not there, that's not him.

833
00:41:40,760 --> 00:41:43,000
Speaker 1: It's not gonna be Alabama this year. You can keep

834
00:41:43,040 --> 00:41:46,840
Speaker 1: wanting for it because you think, in like this Xbox mentality,

835
00:41:46,880 --> 00:41:50,320
Speaker 1: it makes your offense look more perfect. Well, they're not perfect.

836
00:41:50,800 --> 00:41:54,280
Speaker 1: No team is. Bama's not either. The answer to where's

837
00:41:54,280 --> 00:41:56,319
Speaker 1: the intermediate passing game? It's not there. It's not gonna

838
00:41:56,320 --> 00:41:58,560
Speaker 1: show up anytime soon. That doesn't mean they won't complete

839
00:41:58,560 --> 00:42:00,560
Speaker 1: a few, but it will never be a strength of

840
00:42:00,600 --> 00:42:02,759
Speaker 1: that team and that offense. You're gonna be a shot

841
00:42:02,800 --> 00:42:07,000
Speaker 1: play offense that can hopefully lean on the running game

842
00:42:07,080 --> 00:42:10,279
Speaker 1: at the quarterback position and some really good, versatile and

843
00:42:10,360 --> 00:42:14,120
Speaker 1: dynamic pieces in the tailback room as well. The strength

844
00:42:14,160 --> 00:42:16,040
Speaker 1: of the team is obvious, like the strength of that

845
00:42:16,080 --> 00:42:18,560
Speaker 1: offense is obvious. You just got to play to it.

846
00:42:18,920 --> 00:42:20,640
Speaker 1: I think Kaylen de Bor is really good at that.

847
00:42:20,760 --> 00:42:22,960
Speaker 1: I think he was good at that at Washington, at Fresno.

848
00:42:23,040 --> 00:42:26,160
Speaker 1: It stops before that, and so he's perfectly suited for that.

849
00:42:26,680 --> 00:42:31,160
Speaker 1: But I the one thing I wonder about with him

850
00:42:31,200 --> 00:42:33,719
Speaker 1: is not offense. I think it's pretty clear who they are.

851
00:42:34,080 --> 00:42:36,840
Speaker 1: I wonder about their defense. I didn't say worry, but

852
00:42:36,920 --> 00:42:39,359
Speaker 1: I openly wonder about their defense because there's not been

853
00:42:39,360 --> 00:42:42,480
Speaker 1: a quarterback that's tested them so far who can expose

854
00:42:42,480 --> 00:42:45,480
Speaker 1: you with his arm, and down the road they'll play

855
00:42:45,520 --> 00:42:49,520
Speaker 1: Carson Beck, they'll play Nico Imaliava, they'll play Garrett Nusmeyer,

856
00:42:49,560 --> 00:42:51,879
Speaker 1: they'll play Brady Cook, they'll play Jackson Arnold. So they're

857
00:42:51,880 --> 00:42:54,480
Speaker 1: gonna be several times down the road where those young

858
00:42:54,520 --> 00:42:56,520
Speaker 1: corners are gonna be put to the test and where

859
00:42:56,520 --> 00:42:58,520
Speaker 1: that secondary is put to the test. What a god

860
00:42:58,600 --> 00:43:02,080
Speaker 1: send key On sab has been for them and Demani

861
00:43:02,160 --> 00:43:05,239
Speaker 1: Jackson out of USC those are two portal guys that

862
00:43:05,920 --> 00:43:09,560
Speaker 1: didn't grab big, big headlines nationally. They did around Alabama,

863
00:43:09,920 --> 00:43:14,279
Speaker 1: but whoo without them to much different story in that secondary.

864
00:43:14,360 --> 00:43:18,400
Speaker 1: They got ultra talented, five star guys. They're just true freshmen.

865
00:43:18,719 --> 00:43:20,920
Speaker 1: And then you got the transfers in there. But I

866
00:43:20,960 --> 00:43:22,680
Speaker 1: just want you to file a couple of things away

867
00:43:23,440 --> 00:43:27,200
Speaker 1: as we get ready for Bama Georgia week in two weeks.

868
00:43:27,680 --> 00:43:31,360
Speaker 1: Fifteen of Bama's twenty two touchdowns are twenty plus yards,

869
00:43:31,480 --> 00:43:34,880
Speaker 1: which is wonderful. That means you have explosive play capability.

870
00:43:34,960 --> 00:43:37,840
Speaker 1: It also means if someone takes it away, your offense

871
00:43:38,120 --> 00:43:40,600
Speaker 1: is susceptible to grinding to a halt. It's the same

872
00:43:40,600 --> 00:43:43,799
Speaker 1: thing we were saying about Oregon it's great when you

873
00:43:43,800 --> 00:43:46,480
Speaker 1: can score on offensive plays that are twenty plus yards.

874
00:43:46,800 --> 00:43:49,280
Speaker 1: It's much better if you mix in some really really

875
00:43:49,320 --> 00:43:51,879
Speaker 1: long eight twelve, thirteen to fourteen play drives now and then,

876
00:43:52,120 --> 00:43:55,640
Speaker 1: because that means you have the ability to sustain offensive

877
00:43:55,719 --> 00:43:59,239
Speaker 1: rhythm and drives instead of having three and out, three

878
00:43:59,239 --> 00:44:01,239
Speaker 1: and out, three and out. Oh, the offensive plays of

879
00:44:01,239 --> 00:44:05,399
Speaker 1: twenty plus aren't there. Now, what do we do? That's

880
00:44:05,400 --> 00:44:07,200
Speaker 1: how you get you stuff in to buy them. File

881
00:44:07,280 --> 00:44:09,959
Speaker 1: that away. But the good news is they had three

882
00:44:10,000 --> 00:44:13,479
Speaker 1: punts yesterday inside the twenty fifty three yards per punt

883
00:44:13,520 --> 00:44:16,359
Speaker 1: along of sixty four do flip the field entirely at

884
00:44:16,400 --> 00:44:19,000
Speaker 1: one point, So that's good. I think Wisconsin kind of

885
00:44:19,040 --> 00:44:23,560
Speaker 1: needed this because they're not there athletically yet. I told

886
00:44:23,600 --> 00:44:25,400
Speaker 1: you going into the game, I have no idea what

887
00:44:25,400 --> 00:44:29,399
Speaker 1: Wisconsin is offensive identity, still don't. A quarterback going down

888
00:44:29,960 --> 00:44:35,080
Speaker 1: probably definitely changes the trajectory of this season. Just a

889
00:44:35,160 --> 00:44:37,480
Speaker 1: program kind of searching. If you listen to Luke Fickel

890
00:44:37,520 --> 00:44:39,440
Speaker 1: after the game yesterday, he kind of said, if you

891
00:44:39,520 --> 00:44:41,719
Speaker 1: had any doubts about what it feels like, this is

892
00:44:41,760 --> 00:44:43,799
Speaker 1: what it feels like when someone does that to you,

893
00:44:43,840 --> 00:44:45,960
Speaker 1: and it's that clear, and it's at home. That's the

894
00:44:45,960 --> 00:44:49,399
Speaker 1: reset button. That's like the palette cleanser, because there's no

895
00:44:49,440 --> 00:44:52,200
Speaker 1: one saying, well, we could have, we should have. Nope, Nope,

896
00:44:52,239 --> 00:44:55,200
Speaker 1: you just got steam rolled. So that's what it looks like.

897
00:44:55,560 --> 00:44:57,640
Speaker 1: That's what the best or one of the best look like.

898
00:44:57,960 --> 00:45:00,040
Speaker 1: And we're not close. And so if you ever I

899
00:45:00,040 --> 00:45:02,400
Speaker 1: want to be that, here are the steps that we

900
00:45:02,480 --> 00:45:06,319
Speaker 1: have to take, multi year process. They're watching us in

901
00:45:06,480 --> 00:45:10,560
Speaker 1: Rapid City, South Dakota, Florence, Kentucky, Huntsville, Alabama, Cody, Wyoming.

902
00:45:10,640 --> 00:45:13,279
Speaker 1: Thank you guys so much. I got to continue. Let

903
00:45:13,360 --> 00:45:18,520
Speaker 1: me take a quick sip from the nondescript water jug here.

904
00:45:21,200 --> 00:45:23,920
Speaker 1: You didn't think that I was going through this show

905
00:45:24,239 --> 00:45:28,279
Speaker 1: without talking about Florida State. Did you Memphis beat Florida State?

906
00:45:28,320 --> 00:45:30,759
Speaker 1: Because of course they did. Do you watch this game?

907
00:45:30,880 --> 00:45:32,879
Speaker 1: I heard Colin laugh from the other room. See there's

908
00:45:32,880 --> 00:45:35,759
Speaker 1: a wall between us. I can always gauge how good.

909
00:45:35,760 --> 00:45:37,480
Speaker 1: The interest of the segments are about whether I can

910
00:45:37,480 --> 00:45:39,800
Speaker 1: see I can hear him pop in there two and

911
00:45:39,840 --> 00:45:42,640
Speaker 1: a half chili on this game. It was a it

912
00:45:42,719 --> 00:45:45,920
Speaker 1: was messy, but it was entertaining and really good for Memphis.

913
00:45:46,000 --> 00:45:50,279
Speaker 1: I cannot believe how bad Florida State is offensively. I've

914
00:45:50,320 --> 00:45:52,560
Speaker 1: seen it before, but I had to see it against

915
00:45:52,600 --> 00:45:55,120
Speaker 1: like every week or two. You have to be reminded.

916
00:45:55,480 --> 00:45:59,520
Speaker 1: This team is completely lifeless. They are a CPR dummy

917
00:45:59,520 --> 00:46:03,440
Speaker 1: with no arms, legs. Offensively, it is atrocious. It's beyond embarrassing.

918
00:46:03,840 --> 00:46:06,880
Speaker 1: Norvell has no answers. You can tell. This was Florida

919
00:46:06,920 --> 00:46:09,600
Speaker 1: State coming out of a bye week, so this is

920
00:46:09,640 --> 00:46:12,399
Speaker 1: the best that they could cook up. Memphis controlled this game.

921
00:46:12,640 --> 00:46:15,640
Speaker 1: They held FSU to sixty seven yards in the first half.

922
00:46:15,960 --> 00:46:19,359
Speaker 1: They were just the better team. And there's an alert here,

923
00:46:19,680 --> 00:46:22,880
Speaker 1: and that is Memphis, who I picked to go to

924
00:46:22,920 --> 00:46:26,600
Speaker 1: the playoff, is probably the favorite out of the G

925
00:46:26,680 --> 00:46:28,520
Speaker 1: five ranks to go to the playoff. I don't even

926
00:46:28,560 --> 00:46:30,600
Speaker 1: know how to handicap that right now. I don't know

927
00:46:30,600 --> 00:46:33,160
Speaker 1: if I should punish Boise for losing close to Oregon, Like,

928
00:46:33,200 --> 00:46:34,880
Speaker 1: I don't even know how the committee's going to handle that.

929
00:46:35,239 --> 00:46:40,560
Speaker 1: And that concludes our playoff coverage for tonight. It's a

930
00:46:40,640 --> 00:46:43,640
Speaker 1: really easy game to understand, not the game of football

931
00:46:43,680 --> 00:46:47,080
Speaker 1: that's incredibly complex. This game. If you watched it yesterday

932
00:46:47,120 --> 00:46:49,279
Speaker 1: and you were trying to describe it to someone. All

933
00:46:49,320 --> 00:46:51,160
Speaker 1: you got to do is tell them, well, Memphis had

934
00:46:51,200 --> 00:46:54,560
Speaker 1: the better quarterback, because they did. Hennigan went twenty five

935
00:46:54,600 --> 00:46:57,640
Speaker 1: to thirty eight two seventy two, two touchdowns, one pick.

936
00:46:58,040 --> 00:47:01,359
Speaker 1: DJ was sixteen of thirty for two h one and

937
00:47:01,760 --> 00:47:05,000
Speaker 1: zero touchdowns, one interception. His receivers did him no favors.

938
00:47:05,480 --> 00:47:09,359
Speaker 1: They hate catching the ball, FSU. There's one thing they

939
00:47:09,400 --> 00:47:12,840
Speaker 1: hate more than winning, even it is catching the football.

940
00:47:13,160 --> 00:47:15,920
Speaker 1: It's been a chronic issue all year long. Again, you

941
00:47:16,000 --> 00:47:19,600
Speaker 1: can so clearly tell from Mike Norvel's postgame press conference

942
00:47:19,640 --> 00:47:22,520
Speaker 1: before the fire alarm goes off because that happened yesterday,

943
00:47:23,520 --> 00:47:26,719
Speaker 1: that he is seeing one thing in practice and it

944
00:47:26,800 --> 00:47:30,359
Speaker 1: is not translating over to Saturday. And that's the most

945
00:47:30,400 --> 00:47:32,960
Speaker 1: maddening part. When you suck in practice and you suck

946
00:47:33,000 --> 00:47:35,560
Speaker 1: on Saturdays. It's not fun, but at least it makes sense.

947
00:47:36,719 --> 00:47:40,440
Speaker 1: Imagine Monday through Thursday and even the walk through on Friday,

948
00:47:40,680 --> 00:47:42,520
Speaker 1: You're kind of seeing what you want to see. It's like,

949
00:47:42,719 --> 00:47:44,960
Speaker 1: we're gonna have to execute well. And no, we are

950
00:47:45,000 --> 00:47:47,959
Speaker 1: certainly not a finished product. We are a very imperfect team.

951
00:47:48,000 --> 00:47:50,520
Speaker 1: But I can win with this. And then they go

952
00:47:50,600 --> 00:47:53,800
Speaker 1: into Saturday and they just throw up all over the place.

953
00:47:54,200 --> 00:47:59,600
Speaker 1: It's just it's terrible. That's Florida State offensively. I gotta

954
00:47:59,600 --> 00:48:02,160
Speaker 1: be honest. I gotta hat tip their defense yesterday because

955
00:48:02,200 --> 00:48:04,799
Speaker 1: that was a problem early on. They played with a

956
00:48:04,800 --> 00:48:07,959
Speaker 1: lot more effort in pride. Yesterday those guys got nothing

957
00:48:08,000 --> 00:48:10,520
Speaker 1: to hang their head about, but offensively couldn't get out

958
00:48:10,520 --> 00:48:14,279
Speaker 1: of their own way. Their offense operates like it's week

959
00:48:14,320 --> 00:48:18,080
Speaker 1: three of spring of a new offensive install If you

960
00:48:18,160 --> 00:48:20,600
Speaker 1: were to take a team who's installing a new offense

961
00:48:20,840 --> 00:48:22,719
Speaker 1: third week of spring and say you've got to play

962
00:48:22,719 --> 00:48:25,520
Speaker 1: a football game this Saturday Florida States, what it would

963
00:48:25,520 --> 00:48:29,680
Speaker 1: look like. Discombobulated guys out of position, guys dropping balls.

964
00:48:29,760 --> 00:48:33,120
Speaker 1: Everything looks slow. It looks like you're watching offense and

965
00:48:33,239 --> 00:48:37,200
Speaker 1: zero point seventy five speed. It's I cannot imagine being

966
00:48:37,200 --> 00:48:39,080
Speaker 1: a Florida State fan and watching that and having a

967
00:48:39,120 --> 00:48:42,399
Speaker 1: stomach that And unlike your friends down in Gainesville who

968
00:48:42,440 --> 00:48:44,359
Speaker 1: know they're gonna get a new head man next year,

969
00:48:44,880 --> 00:48:47,480
Speaker 1: this is not it like it's Mike Norvell's job. It's

970
00:48:47,520 --> 00:48:51,600
Speaker 1: his mess to clean up. And I'm not in any shape,

971
00:48:51,600 --> 00:48:54,239
Speaker 1: form or fashion suggesting there should be any kind of

972
00:48:54,280 --> 00:48:56,400
Speaker 1: hot seat talk with him. I'm just saying it's an

973
00:48:56,400 --> 00:49:00,000
Speaker 1: Apples to Orange is comparison. Both teams are terrible this year.

974
00:49:00,360 --> 00:49:03,879
Speaker 1: But with Florida State, this is your guy, Like that's

975
00:49:03,920 --> 00:49:06,319
Speaker 1: your horse, you got to ride it. At Florida there's

976
00:49:06,360 --> 00:49:08,319
Speaker 1: an unknown of we got to see who comes in

977
00:49:08,480 --> 00:49:14,360
Speaker 1: next man, zero rhythm offensively whatsoever. They had one point

978
00:49:14,400 --> 00:49:16,520
Speaker 1: five yards per carry, two of twelve on third down.

979
00:49:16,560 --> 00:49:20,040
Speaker 1: It was just gross. So what now? Anytime a football

980
00:49:20,040 --> 00:49:22,120
Speaker 1: team loses a game in college is like what now?

981
00:49:22,239 --> 00:49:24,920
Speaker 1: What now? Well, you throw away the season. That's what

982
00:49:25,000 --> 00:49:27,719
Speaker 1: you do. You have no other option. I'm not suggesting

983
00:49:27,760 --> 00:49:29,600
Speaker 1: the coaching staff do that, the team do that. I'm saying,

984
00:49:29,640 --> 00:49:32,920
Speaker 1: as a fan, you're entering a new world in college football.

985
00:49:33,640 --> 00:49:35,440
Speaker 1: This is kind of the first example of it. It

986
00:49:35,440 --> 00:49:38,200
Speaker 1: will not be the last example of it. When the

987
00:49:38,200 --> 00:49:40,240
Speaker 1: transfer portal has done what it's done to the sport,

988
00:49:41,560 --> 00:49:44,960
Speaker 1: you're gonna have even some really good teams like Florida

989
00:49:44,960 --> 00:49:48,200
Speaker 1: State lean on it, and in the feast or famine

990
00:49:48,200 --> 00:49:51,880
Speaker 1: era of the transfer portal, you're gonna have examples of

991
00:49:51,920 --> 00:49:55,360
Speaker 1: a team that does sky high things one year and

992
00:49:55,440 --> 00:49:58,000
Speaker 1: the bottom falls out the next year. Way worse than

993
00:49:58,000 --> 00:49:59,759
Speaker 1: it ever could have before. It used to be that

994
00:49:59,800 --> 00:50:02,080
Speaker 1: if you your best case was twelve and zero, your

995
00:50:02,160 --> 00:50:06,520
Speaker 1: absolute basement floor was eight and four. Now you can

996
00:50:06,560 --> 00:50:08,120
Speaker 1: go twelve and oh one year, and you can be

997
00:50:08,239 --> 00:50:10,799
Speaker 1: four and eight the next year. And I don't mean TCU,

998
00:50:11,239 --> 00:50:13,080
Speaker 1: I mean big boys. I mean the ones that recruit

999
00:50:13,080 --> 00:50:16,960
Speaker 1: in the top twenty. Because you don't know from the

1000
00:50:17,040 --> 00:50:20,319
Speaker 1: neck up and in here, you don't really know what

1001
00:50:20,440 --> 00:50:23,600
Speaker 1: a team that's disproportionately made up of portal talent is

1002
00:50:23,880 --> 00:50:26,799
Speaker 1: really made of. You just don't. Mike Norvell is the

1003
00:50:26,800 --> 00:50:29,399
Speaker 1: clearest example of that, because he thought he had one

1004
00:50:29,440 --> 00:50:33,120
Speaker 1: thing and he doesn't. And you can tell from like

1005
00:50:33,160 --> 00:50:35,560
Speaker 1: I've talked about before, the folks who cover that team,

1006
00:50:35,960 --> 00:50:38,600
Speaker 1: they go to open practices, they weren't lying to you.

1007
00:50:40,160 --> 00:50:42,400
Speaker 1: I keep looking at the boards, the message boards, and

1008
00:50:42,440 --> 00:50:45,160
Speaker 1: everyone's mad at folks who cover Florida State. You misled us,

1009
00:50:45,160 --> 00:50:48,719
Speaker 1: You misled us, Well, they kind of did, but not

1010
00:50:48,840 --> 00:50:51,080
Speaker 1: because they were trying to lie to you. They were

1011
00:50:51,120 --> 00:50:54,319
Speaker 1: just telling you what they see in practice. Hey, Nick

1012
00:50:54,360 --> 00:50:57,960
Speaker 1: Saban goes and watches Florida State practice. What do you

1013
00:50:58,040 --> 00:51:00,960
Speaker 1: do after that? What Saban do? He picked him to

1014
00:51:01,000 --> 00:51:03,720
Speaker 1: win the ACC. You remember that he's not a Florida

1015
00:51:03,719 --> 00:51:06,440
Speaker 1: State beat writer, he's not an NFL scout. He's best

1016
00:51:06,480 --> 00:51:09,960
Speaker 1: to ever do it, supreme evaluator of talent. But it's

1017
00:51:10,000 --> 00:51:12,960
Speaker 1: about more than talent. The NFL scouts who came through

1018
00:51:13,000 --> 00:51:16,319
Speaker 1: there gave glowing remarks. They told it to me about

1019
00:51:16,320 --> 00:51:18,160
Speaker 1: Florida State. They all thought Florida State was gonna be

1020
00:51:18,200 --> 00:51:19,840
Speaker 1: a problem. Folks who covered the team thought it was

1021
00:51:19,880 --> 00:51:22,120
Speaker 1: gonna be a problem. Saban picked him to win the ACC.

1022
00:51:22,560 --> 00:51:25,440
Speaker 1: They're not all idiots. They weren't all trying to mislead you.

1023
00:51:25,480 --> 00:51:28,400
Speaker 1: Were lied to you for subscriptions or to clickbait you,

1024
00:51:28,480 --> 00:51:30,120
Speaker 1: or whatever in the world you think happened to you.

1025
00:51:30,760 --> 00:51:32,879
Speaker 1: It is. You've got a bunch of talent that does

1026
00:51:32,920 --> 00:51:35,680
Speaker 1: not equal a fully formed team right now. That's the

1027
00:51:35,719 --> 00:51:37,759
Speaker 1: long and short of it. And you're not good at quarterback.

1028
00:51:38,080 --> 00:51:40,799
Speaker 1: That's the extra long and short of it. So you're

1029
00:51:40,800 --> 00:51:44,120
Speaker 1: just a bad team. So you throw away the season

1030
00:51:44,239 --> 00:51:46,360
Speaker 1: is what you do. It's gonna be a lost season.

1031
00:51:46,680 --> 00:51:50,320
Speaker 1: But in the old school of college football, that wouldn't

1032
00:51:50,320 --> 00:51:52,279
Speaker 1: mean you fire a guy. Well, Mike Norvell is not

1033
00:51:52,280 --> 00:51:54,440
Speaker 1: getting fired, nor should he be. Number one because he

1034
00:51:54,520 --> 00:51:57,160
Speaker 1: just signed a new deal like ten minutes ago. Number two,

1035
00:51:57,719 --> 00:52:00,439
Speaker 1: because it's a new era of college football. You've got

1036
00:52:00,480 --> 00:52:03,399
Speaker 1: to bake in. You've got to account for the possibility

1037
00:52:03,600 --> 00:52:06,919
Speaker 1: that things could just go really, really, really wrong. That's

1038
00:52:07,040 --> 00:52:09,719
Speaker 1: the style of roulette you're kind of playing if you

1039
00:52:09,800 --> 00:52:12,520
Speaker 1: use the portal. Now, what they have to do is

1040
00:52:12,520 --> 00:52:14,800
Speaker 1: he's going to have to make several adjustments on his staff,

1041
00:52:15,080 --> 00:52:17,200
Speaker 1: and they've got to get a lot better at recruiting

1042
00:52:17,360 --> 00:52:20,319
Speaker 1: high school football players. They just got to that's the

1043
00:52:20,360 --> 00:52:23,680
Speaker 1: answer moving forward. That's not anything he doesn't know. It's

1044
00:52:23,760 --> 00:52:25,680
Speaker 1: just unlike me, I get to sit behind a mic

1045
00:52:25,719 --> 00:52:29,120
Speaker 1: and say it. He's got what ten more games are?

1046
00:52:29,440 --> 00:52:32,680
Speaker 1: Nine more games to go before they really get to

1047
00:52:32,760 --> 00:52:37,560
Speaker 1: implement any change. Let's move on. Oh man, oh man,

1048
00:52:37,600 --> 00:52:41,960
Speaker 1: oh man. So let me lean back up so you

1049
00:52:41,960 --> 00:52:45,040
Speaker 1: can hear me. I am so sorry to all of you.

1050
00:52:45,360 --> 00:52:48,600
Speaker 1: It's not my fault that officiating is as bad as

1051
00:52:48,640 --> 00:52:50,640
Speaker 1: it is. Colin, let's just go ahead and endpointed here.

1052
00:52:51,719 --> 00:52:54,160
Speaker 1: I want to apologize to every one of you because

1053
00:52:54,200 --> 00:52:58,400
Speaker 1: college football officiating is so bad right now, we got

1054
00:52:58,440 --> 00:53:01,120
Speaker 1: a major issue in the sport. I think I know why.

1055
00:53:01,800 --> 00:53:07,040
Speaker 1: So Yesterday was one of the worst officiated days I

1056
00:53:07,080 --> 00:53:10,000
Speaker 1: can remember in college football. And I have eat and

1057
00:53:10,040 --> 00:53:12,080
Speaker 1: slept and breathed this stuff for as long as I

1058
00:53:12,080 --> 00:53:14,880
Speaker 1: could crawl. I don't know that I've seen it collectively

1059
00:53:14,880 --> 00:53:18,440
Speaker 1: worse than it was yesterday. I'm gonna show you a

1060
00:53:18,480 --> 00:53:21,280
Speaker 1: lot of the garbage that you were forced to consume yesterday,

1061
00:53:21,640 --> 00:53:25,280
Speaker 1: But first I want to play something to you because

1062
00:53:25,320 --> 00:53:27,760
Speaker 1: it peaked my ears a little bit. It's Kirby Smart

1063
00:53:27,800 --> 00:53:31,319
Speaker 1: after George's game against Kentucky last night, and then I'm

1064
00:53:31,360 --> 00:53:33,640
Speaker 1: gonna tell you what I think he's hinting at Colin rolt.

1065
00:53:33,760 --> 00:53:36,880
Speaker 3: I watched games today and it was like crazy, and

1066
00:53:36,880 --> 00:53:39,200
Speaker 3: we're higher than we've ever been. I watched all these games.

1067
00:53:39,239 --> 00:53:41,280
Speaker 3: They're higher than they've ever been, and I'm like, what's

1068
00:53:41,320 --> 00:53:44,600
Speaker 3: going on? Like we never we have been a low

1069
00:53:44,680 --> 00:53:48,279
Speaker 3: penalty smart team, and I can't figure it out. I

1070
00:53:48,320 --> 00:53:50,879
Speaker 3: don't know if it's you know, if it's the way

1071
00:53:50,880 --> 00:53:53,840
Speaker 3: it's being called. Is it being called tighter because everybody's

1072
00:53:53,880 --> 00:53:56,920
Speaker 3: got more, but we certainly got to reel it in some.

1073
00:54:00,520 --> 00:54:02,920
Speaker 1: So I'm looking at hol in the live chat, who

1074
00:54:02,960 --> 00:54:05,520
Speaker 1: apparently just wants to be disagreeable I said, yesterday was

1075
00:54:05,520 --> 00:54:07,680
Speaker 1: one of the worst officiating days I've ever seen. He said,

1076
00:54:07,680 --> 00:54:10,279
Speaker 1: stop it, No, it wasn't well, brother. I brought the

1077
00:54:10,360 --> 00:54:12,799
Speaker 1: video evidence. In just a second, hold on, Colin, in

1078
00:54:12,840 --> 00:54:14,799
Speaker 1: just a second, I'm gonna roll it for all of

1079
00:54:14,800 --> 00:54:17,360
Speaker 1: you to see. Let me tell you what happened. Tua

1080
00:54:17,360 --> 00:54:20,640
Speaker 1: Tongue of Ailoa got concussed Thursday night, and everyone freaked out.

1081
00:54:20,719 --> 00:54:23,319
Speaker 1: That's what happened. And Tua did not get concussed on

1082
00:54:23,360 --> 00:54:26,920
Speaker 1: a roughing the passer penalty. He was running scrambling, hit

1083
00:54:26,920 --> 00:54:30,160
Speaker 1: his head on someone's knee and concussed himself. Everyone saw it.

1084
00:54:30,680 --> 00:54:35,480
Speaker 1: Everyone listened to folks trash football. The following morning, everyone listened.

1085
00:54:35,760 --> 00:54:38,800
Speaker 1: Suburban moms listened and got scared more than they already

1086
00:54:38,840 --> 00:54:41,560
Speaker 1: are to let their kids play youth football. And everyone

1087
00:54:41,600 --> 00:54:44,839
Speaker 1: freaked out about participation levels of the sport as they

1088
00:54:44,840 --> 00:54:47,080
Speaker 1: should be concerned with. But then I'll tell you what

1089
00:54:47,120 --> 00:54:49,840
Speaker 1: else happened. I will guarantee you I would bet money

1090
00:54:49,880 --> 00:54:54,839
Speaker 1: on this Friday night, Friday afternoon, Friday morning, there were

1091
00:54:54,840 --> 00:54:57,680
Speaker 1: conference calls with a lot of these league offices in

1092
00:54:57,719 --> 00:55:00,120
Speaker 1: college and there were conference calls with a lot out

1093
00:55:00,160 --> 00:55:03,120
Speaker 1: of these officiating crews, and they were told, we got

1094
00:55:03,120 --> 00:55:05,720
Speaker 1: to emphasize this stuff more. We've got to go above

1095
00:55:05,760 --> 00:55:09,319
Speaker 1: and beyond. There are legal ramifications, there are legal eyes

1096
00:55:09,440 --> 00:55:13,359
Speaker 1: on us, and we got to make sure that we

1097
00:55:13,440 --> 00:55:17,240
Speaker 1: make it abundantly clear we are protecting quarterbacks, We're protecting

1098
00:55:17,280 --> 00:55:23,719
Speaker 1: players in this game. That's great in theory, but if

1099
00:55:23,760 --> 00:55:26,840
Speaker 1: it comes at the expense of properly enforcing your rules,

1100
00:55:27,239 --> 00:55:29,240
Speaker 1: you either got to do a better job of enforcing

1101
00:55:29,280 --> 00:55:32,600
Speaker 1: your rules, or you've got to redefine the rules, because

1102
00:55:32,640 --> 00:55:34,800
Speaker 1: as it stands right now, no one has the slightest

1103
00:55:34,800 --> 00:55:38,480
Speaker 1: clue what the rules of football are. So yesterday, let

1104
00:55:38,480 --> 00:55:43,080
Speaker 1: me just roll through what happened yesterday the Indiana UCLA game.

1105
00:55:44,440 --> 00:55:48,160
Speaker 1: We got an edge player puts a perfect form tackle

1106
00:55:48,239 --> 00:55:51,600
Speaker 1: on Garber's the quarterback. There no helmet to helmet. It's

1107
00:55:51,640 --> 00:55:53,480
Speaker 1: just called rough in the passer like this, he's not

1108
00:55:53,520 --> 00:55:56,920
Speaker 1: even passing. Black Lie's pointed out, it's just a sack. Oregon,

1109
00:55:57,160 --> 00:56:02,080
Speaker 1: same thing. Giovanni mccoyah is interrupted, his throwing hand hits

1110
00:56:02,120 --> 00:56:04,719
Speaker 1: the helmet of the defender. He doesn't tackle him to

1111
00:56:04,760 --> 00:56:09,120
Speaker 1: the ground, nothing forcible. He's flagged roughing the passer. This

1112
00:56:09,280 --> 00:56:12,239
Speaker 1: play in the Georgia game. Javon Walker put such a

1113
00:56:12,400 --> 00:56:15,719
Speaker 1: textbook hit on the quarterback it should be teaching tape.

1114
00:56:15,800 --> 00:56:19,160
Speaker 1: Instead it was flagged. Why what cause the quarterback fell hard?

1115
00:56:19,239 --> 00:56:22,000
Speaker 1: I guess this was called targeting and the helmet hit

1116
00:56:22,040 --> 00:56:25,480
Speaker 1: the dude in the butt. I don't really know what.

1117
00:56:25,960 --> 00:56:28,000
Speaker 1: I never thought those sentences would come out of my mouth,

1118
00:56:28,160 --> 00:56:31,440
Speaker 1: but they did that right there, targeting folks, targeting Georgia

1119
00:56:31,560 --> 00:56:35,600
Speaker 1: Kentucky again last night there was face mask called on

1120
00:56:35,600 --> 00:56:39,279
Speaker 1: this play and it was called on Kentucky. Do you

1121
00:56:39,360 --> 00:56:41,920
Speaker 1: understand what I just said? That right that the Kentucky's

1122
00:56:41,920 --> 00:56:45,360
Speaker 1: guy was beheaded and face mask was actually called elsewhere

1123
00:56:45,360 --> 00:56:47,680
Speaker 1: on the field. I was at this game yesterday. This

1124
00:56:47,719 --> 00:56:50,360
Speaker 1: is a pick six that changes the course of the

1125
00:56:50,400 --> 00:56:54,120
Speaker 1: game and nuss Meyer no longer a quarterback because once

1126
00:56:54,160 --> 00:56:57,319
Speaker 1: the ball's picked, he's not a quarterback, gets sought out,

1127
00:56:57,719 --> 00:57:02,000
Speaker 1: noted down with some one's hands on his shoulder, and

1128
00:57:02,280 --> 00:57:03,920
Speaker 1: because he does a great job of acting there on

1129
00:57:03,920 --> 00:57:07,000
Speaker 1: the ground, he is flagged. There's a flag that gets

1130
00:57:07,080 --> 00:57:10,560
Speaker 1: drawn back. The interception counts, but the points don't. It

1131
00:57:10,600 --> 00:57:13,120
Speaker 1: was a horrific day yesterday. I didn't even show you

1132
00:57:13,200 --> 00:57:16,040
Speaker 1: half of what we could show you, and so this again,

1133
00:57:17,200 --> 00:57:20,520
Speaker 1: College football is the greatest sport. You know, College football

1134
00:57:20,520 --> 00:57:21,920
Speaker 1: is the greatest sport in the face of the earth.

1135
00:57:22,040 --> 00:57:24,240
Speaker 1: I love it. I will fight for it. It is

1136
00:57:24,280 --> 00:57:27,280
Speaker 1: a multi billion dollar sport with the most nickel and

1137
00:57:27,360 --> 00:57:30,480
Speaker 1: dime officiating arm that you could ever imagine. We are

1138
00:57:30,640 --> 00:57:35,000
Speaker 1: so so far behind on accountability and standard of officiating.

1139
00:57:35,120 --> 00:57:38,280
Speaker 1: I'm not saying these are bad people. In fact, I

1140
00:57:38,320 --> 00:57:40,280
Speaker 1: don't even think they're doing the wrong thing. I think

1141
00:57:40,320 --> 00:57:42,320
Speaker 1: they've been put in a no win position as well,

1142
00:57:42,400 --> 00:57:45,440
Speaker 1: because I will guarantee you after what happened with two

1143
00:57:45,440 --> 00:57:47,280
Speaker 1: of the other night, I will guarantee you there were

1144
00:57:47,320 --> 00:57:50,120
Speaker 1: Friday conference calls with those league offices, and those league

1145
00:57:50,160 --> 00:57:52,640
Speaker 1: offices talk to their officiating crews and they just flat

1146
00:57:52,640 --> 00:57:54,680
Speaker 1: out and told them, guys, there are eyes on us

1147
00:57:54,720 --> 00:57:57,160
Speaker 1: that aren't normally on us. We have got to enforce stuff.

1148
00:57:57,240 --> 00:57:59,760
Speaker 1: We've got to make it abundantly clear we're protecting the players.

1149
00:58:00,360 --> 00:58:04,000
Speaker 1: Well you're not. You're just screwing the players. Because there

1150
00:58:04,000 --> 00:58:08,240
Speaker 1: were games decided, there were outcomes decided on some of

1151
00:58:08,240 --> 00:58:12,240
Speaker 1: these calls yesterday. And imagine being these coaches, you only

1152
00:58:12,240 --> 00:58:15,200
Speaker 1: get twelve of these games, like I said, it's not

1153
00:58:15,320 --> 00:58:18,720
Speaker 1: like game three of a four game set Braves Reds

1154
00:58:18,760 --> 00:58:21,600
Speaker 1: in mid July and oh, bang bang call at third

1155
00:58:21,680 --> 00:58:24,120
Speaker 1: base goes against us. We'll get them tomorrow. You get

1156
00:58:24,160 --> 00:58:26,680
Speaker 1: twelve of these games, there is no more LSU South

1157
00:58:26,680 --> 00:58:30,320
Speaker 1: Carolina Like that's it. And so Shaneiemer's got to sit there,

1158
00:58:30,960 --> 00:58:33,959
Speaker 1: get his team ready, build up the entire fan base

1159
00:58:34,080 --> 00:58:36,560
Speaker 1: places on fire. You're up seventeen to Oh, it's a

1160
00:58:36,600 --> 00:58:39,480
Speaker 1: dog fight in the fourth quarter, and that garbage decides

1161
00:58:39,520 --> 00:58:42,640
Speaker 1: the game in all likelihood, and then you know you're

1162
00:58:42,640 --> 00:58:44,560
Speaker 1: gonna get fined by the league office if you tell

1163
00:58:44,560 --> 00:58:48,200
Speaker 1: the truth. And so what's your recourse. Your recourse is, well,

1164
00:58:48,200 --> 00:58:51,560
Speaker 1: you file a bunch of grievances. Best case scenario. The

1165
00:58:51,640 --> 00:58:53,720
Speaker 1: league office says what they should all the time, which

1166
00:58:53,760 --> 00:58:56,560
Speaker 1: is our official screwed up. And oh, but by the way,

1167
00:58:56,560 --> 00:58:58,560
Speaker 1: we can't change the outcome of the game. So you

1168
00:58:58,600 --> 00:59:01,040
Speaker 1: still lose. But here will stroke you on the cheek

1169
00:59:01,080 --> 00:59:05,200
Speaker 1: and say, we messed up. What do you tell the players?

1170
00:59:05,440 --> 00:59:08,320
Speaker 1: But what does Kirby Smart tell Walker? That's a perfect

1171
00:59:08,440 --> 00:59:12,120
Speaker 1: hit that should be put on teaching tape, face mask

1172
00:59:12,240 --> 00:59:14,880
Speaker 1: off to the side. You didn't you didn't drive up

1173
00:59:14,920 --> 00:59:17,040
Speaker 1: through him, you didn't spear him, you didn't leave the

1174
00:59:17,040 --> 00:59:19,520
Speaker 1: crown of your helmet. And because the guy fell backwards

1175
00:59:19,520 --> 00:59:21,800
Speaker 1: a little bit too hard, it's rough in the passer.

1176
00:59:22,200 --> 00:59:24,680
Speaker 1: And you can tell me, well, he drove him to

1177
00:59:24,720 --> 00:59:27,240
Speaker 1: the ground. I look at the Oregon tape. Dude, he

1178
00:59:27,240 --> 00:59:30,000
Speaker 1: didn't even get driven to the ground. And the contact

1179
00:59:30,080 --> 00:59:32,560
Speaker 1: was so sudden with the throw that the quarterbacks throwing

1180
00:59:32,680 --> 00:59:36,920
Speaker 1: arm hit the defender in the helmet and he's still flagged.

1181
00:59:36,960 --> 00:59:40,160
Speaker 1: So coaches get paid a lot of money for this.

1182
00:59:40,800 --> 00:59:44,240
Speaker 1: I'm not necessarily saying feel sorry for him. I'm just

1183
00:59:44,280 --> 00:59:46,880
Speaker 1: saying this is a great sport that deserves a whole

1184
00:59:46,880 --> 00:59:49,000
Speaker 1: lot better than what we have in officiating right now.

1185
00:59:49,080 --> 00:59:50,720
Speaker 1: And if you want to know what my answer is,

1186
00:59:51,040 --> 00:59:55,080
Speaker 1: my answer is employee officials and standardize it nationally. Like

1187
00:59:55,160 --> 00:59:57,160
Speaker 1: Gundhy talked about the other day, Mike Gundy went on

1188
00:59:57,200 --> 01:00:00,840
Speaker 1: a ramp because he's so institutionalized that he gets to

1189
01:00:00,840 --> 01:00:03,720
Speaker 1: say whatever he wants. Mac Brown at North Carolina is

1190
01:00:03,720 --> 01:00:05,760
Speaker 1: the same way Saban was the same way at Bama.

1191
01:00:05,840 --> 01:00:08,760
Speaker 1: It's really important for those coaches who have nothing to

1192
01:00:08,800 --> 01:00:11,160
Speaker 1: worry about to speak up about stuff like that. Because

1193
01:00:11,200 --> 01:00:13,400
Speaker 1: most of them can't those most of them are too

1194
01:00:13,440 --> 01:00:16,520
Speaker 1: young to do it. Mike Gundhy said, we were getting

1195
01:00:16,520 --> 01:00:18,560
Speaker 1: flagged today for stuff that I know with a big

1196
01:00:18,600 --> 01:00:20,880
Speaker 1: twelve crew we wouldn't be flagged for. So I was

1197
01:00:20,920 --> 01:00:24,120
Speaker 1: just trying to find out is is there some standardized

1198
01:00:24,200 --> 01:00:26,240
Speaker 1: rule book out there or do we just have conference

1199
01:00:26,320 --> 01:00:31,160
Speaker 1: rule books. It's an insane problem to have for a

1200
01:00:31,200 --> 01:00:34,560
Speaker 1: sport that is a multi billion dollar sport that we got.

1201
01:00:34,560 --> 01:00:37,600
Speaker 1: Guys they're not full time officials that they're working at

1202
01:00:37,600 --> 01:00:40,000
Speaker 1: a car dealership money through Thursday. I'm not even saying

1203
01:00:40,000 --> 01:00:42,840
Speaker 1: it's their fault. It shouldn't be in their hands. It

1204
01:00:42,880 --> 01:00:45,959
Speaker 1: should not be in their hands to screw up. There's

1205
01:00:45,960 --> 01:00:51,280
Speaker 1: no accountability. There is no answering for anything after a game,

1206
01:00:51,680 --> 01:00:54,160
Speaker 1: and it's pathetic and there should be. And if you

1207
01:00:54,200 --> 01:00:56,400
Speaker 1: want to tell me, well, Josh, you can't do that.

1208
01:00:56,600 --> 01:00:59,240
Speaker 1: These are just part time officials. Make them full time.

1209
01:00:59,760 --> 01:01:01,880
Speaker 1: Whatever you gotta do, whatever you got to change in

1210
01:01:01,920 --> 01:01:04,160
Speaker 1: the legal ease and change in your books to make

1211
01:01:04,240 --> 01:01:07,960
Speaker 1: someone accountable to answer for a critical part of the

1212
01:01:08,000 --> 01:01:12,280
Speaker 1: game as officiating do it. They don't want to because

1213
01:01:12,280 --> 01:01:14,560
Speaker 1: it's another headache that they don't want to take on

1214
01:01:15,080 --> 01:01:18,240
Speaker 1: and as a result, you're just forced to accept that.

1215
01:01:19,440 --> 01:01:21,960
Speaker 1: And by the way, who do you complain to the

1216
01:01:21,960 --> 01:01:25,400
Speaker 1: commissioner of the sport? Obviously? Oh, there isn't one. There

1217
01:01:25,440 --> 01:01:32,400
Speaker 1: is no centralized leadership. Cool, great, wonderful. Some more takeaways

1218
01:01:32,400 --> 01:01:36,680
Speaker 1: from yesterday or welcome back Oregon. Let's go off flap

1219
01:01:36,760 --> 01:01:38,960
Speaker 1: Organ welcome back forty nine to fourteen and win over

1220
01:01:39,000 --> 01:01:42,600
Speaker 1: Oregon State. I think Oregon just needed a little more runway.

1221
01:01:43,360 --> 01:01:45,240
Speaker 1: The model wanted us to bet against Oregon. I was

1222
01:01:45,280 --> 01:01:47,240
Speaker 1: not doing it because I knew eventually this was common

1223
01:01:47,240 --> 01:01:48,960
Speaker 1: and it did come forty nine to fourteen to win.

1224
01:01:49,160 --> 01:01:53,320
Speaker 1: Offensive line much better, run game, much better, ran it

1225
01:01:53,360 --> 01:01:56,680
Speaker 1: for two hundred and forty yards seven point five per carry.

1226
01:01:56,880 --> 01:02:00,720
Speaker 1: They had zero pre snap penalties on the road, no less,

1227
01:02:01,240 --> 01:02:03,240
Speaker 1: and they won the second half twenty seven and nothing.

1228
01:02:03,360 --> 01:02:07,240
Speaker 1: That's answering, that's good coaching, that is execution, fundamentals a

1229
01:02:07,240 --> 01:02:11,200
Speaker 1: lot better everything. So now they're gonna go play UCLA.

1230
01:02:11,240 --> 01:02:12,720
Speaker 1: What if they have a bye week, Jesse, or are

1231
01:02:12,720 --> 01:02:15,320
Speaker 1: they going this next week? They're going this next week? Right? Yeah?

1232
01:02:15,320 --> 01:02:18,440
Speaker 1: I think they got they do have a BUYE nine eight. Okay,

1233
01:02:18,720 --> 01:02:22,640
Speaker 1: So Oregon looks a lot better, right, So still a

1234
01:02:22,720 --> 01:02:25,320
Speaker 1: high ceiling on Oregon. We're not selling that stock, as

1235
01:02:25,320 --> 01:02:28,520
Speaker 1: I told you we weren't. Texas against the UTSA fifty

1236
01:02:28,560 --> 01:02:31,720
Speaker 1: six to seven. Otherwise not a huge takeaway game except

1237
01:02:32,280 --> 01:02:35,920
Speaker 1: when youwers went down. The word out of Austin is

1238
01:02:36,000 --> 01:02:38,000
Speaker 1: that he's got a strained oblique. He will not be

1239
01:02:38,000 --> 01:02:39,600
Speaker 1: out all year. He'll be out a couple of weeks.

1240
01:02:40,120 --> 01:02:42,160
Speaker 1: And I need to be really respectful here. I'm not

1241
01:02:42,240 --> 01:02:46,600
Speaker 1: joking about an injury. I am commenting on the insane

1242
01:02:46,640 --> 01:02:49,960
Speaker 1: situation in the Texas quarterback room. Texas people are the

1243
01:02:50,000 --> 01:02:53,360
Speaker 1: only people who, when their starter goes down for whatever reason,

1244
01:02:54,600 --> 01:02:58,080
Speaker 1: respectfully can say, oh, man, we get to see Arch.

1245
01:02:59,360 --> 01:03:02,439
Speaker 1: And then Arch comes and goes nine of twelve, two

1246
01:03:02,480 --> 01:03:04,840
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty three and four touchdowns, and he runs

1247
01:03:04,840 --> 01:03:07,120
Speaker 1: for another sixty seven yard touchdown. It makes everyone who

1248
01:03:07,120 --> 01:03:09,880
Speaker 1: didn't watch him in high school say, oh, he can run, Yeah,

1249
01:03:09,920 --> 01:03:13,200
Speaker 1: he can run. Yeah, he sure can run. And he

1250
01:03:13,240 --> 01:03:17,320
Speaker 1: did yesterday. They got ULM coming up. They got Mississippi State.

1251
01:03:17,360 --> 01:03:19,640
Speaker 1: Pray for the Bulldogs please. They got Mississippi State they

1252
01:03:19,640 --> 01:03:22,200
Speaker 1: gotta buy. And then they got Ou. I assume Quinn

1253
01:03:22,240 --> 01:03:26,880
Speaker 1: Ewers will be cleared before them. But you know what

1254
01:03:27,000 --> 01:03:28,959
Speaker 1: arch Manning is about to do. You know the level

1255
01:03:28,960 --> 01:03:30,600
Speaker 1: he's about to play at. You know level you already

1256
01:03:30,600 --> 01:03:33,360
Speaker 1: saw him play out. They've got two starting quarterbacks at Texas.

1257
01:03:33,400 --> 01:03:35,800
Speaker 1: It's what they've had all year. They've had that. They

1258
01:03:35,840 --> 01:03:38,120
Speaker 1: got a guy who is Quinn Ewers, who is their starter,

1259
01:03:38,280 --> 01:03:41,800
Speaker 1: and they got a guy who'd start for about ninety

1260
01:03:42,120 --> 01:03:45,600
Speaker 1: three ninety five percent of other teams, including several top

1261
01:03:45,640 --> 01:03:48,560
Speaker 1: ten teams. And that's with him still being as green

1262
01:03:48,600 --> 01:03:52,280
Speaker 1: as he is. So overall, pretty good situation in Austin.

1263
01:03:53,000 --> 01:03:56,160
Speaker 1: Now this Colorado game. I did have something to say

1264
01:03:56,200 --> 01:03:58,680
Speaker 1: on this. A lot of you were tagging me in

1265
01:03:58,720 --> 01:04:01,840
Speaker 1: this today. And by the way, if you're watching, do

1266
01:04:01,960 --> 01:04:04,040
Speaker 1: me a favor. We got a big live crowd here

1267
01:04:04,280 --> 01:04:06,920
Speaker 1: between seven and eight thousand watching live. Do me a favorite.

1268
01:04:06,960 --> 01:04:09,040
Speaker 1: Check if you're subscribed to the channel or the podcast.

1269
01:04:09,120 --> 01:04:12,280
Speaker 1: If you're not, click it takes like less than a

1270
01:04:12,280 --> 01:04:13,800
Speaker 1: second and it helps us out a lot, so I

1271
01:04:13,800 --> 01:04:17,560
Speaker 1: appreciate it. In advance. Colorado beat Colorado State twenty eight

1272
01:04:17,640 --> 01:04:22,640
Speaker 1: to nine. That's it, twenty eight to nine. No, no, no, no,

1273
01:04:22,800 --> 01:04:26,560
Speaker 1: that's not the takeaway. The takeaway is that's it. That's

1274
01:04:26,600 --> 01:04:28,560
Speaker 1: what I thought when I watched this game. Here's what

1275
01:04:28,720 --> 01:04:32,560
Speaker 1: really just happened. I wrote down that's it, and I

1276
01:04:32,600 --> 01:04:34,720
Speaker 1: forgot what the context was, so I was just making

1277
01:04:34,760 --> 01:04:37,400
Speaker 1: it up as I went. But I remember now I

1278
01:04:37,440 --> 01:04:39,680
Speaker 1: looked at this final I watched the replay this morning,

1279
01:04:40,520 --> 01:04:44,040
Speaker 1: Colorado State. That was it. After talking all week, that

1280
01:04:44,120 --> 01:04:45,720
Speaker 1: was it. Twenty eight to nine. Now, this is not

1281
01:04:45,800 --> 01:04:48,120
Speaker 1: the big takeaway most people have from this game. Most

1282
01:04:48,120 --> 01:04:52,080
Speaker 1: people's takeaway was should do or acted like a clown afterwards? No,

1283
01:04:52,280 --> 01:04:54,520
Speaker 1: we're not doing that. We're not doing that on this show.

1284
01:04:54,560 --> 01:04:56,840
Speaker 1: At least I will show you what happened after the game.

1285
01:04:56,840 --> 01:04:59,920
Speaker 1: But that's not chapter one. Remember, if we're gonna tell

1286
01:04:59,920 --> 01:05:02,440
Speaker 1: the story, if we're gonna tell a story in college

1287
01:05:02,480 --> 01:05:04,960
Speaker 1: football or in life, we want to start in chapter one.

1288
01:05:05,560 --> 01:05:07,560
Speaker 1: A lot of people saw Shador after the game and

1289
01:05:07,600 --> 01:05:10,080
Speaker 1: what he did postgame last night, and you got mad

1290
01:05:10,120 --> 01:05:11,920
Speaker 1: at it. You called him all kinds of names. But

1291
01:05:11,960 --> 01:05:15,000
Speaker 1: that's starting on chapter two of the book. Chapter one

1292
01:05:15,080 --> 01:05:17,720
Speaker 1: of the book happened earlier this week. Colin, Let's show

1293
01:05:17,720 --> 01:05:19,240
Speaker 1: the people chapter one of the book.

1294
01:05:19,520 --> 01:05:22,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, they came out with that attitude and thought it

1295
01:05:22,760 --> 01:05:25,800
Speaker 2: was gonna be a kwalk. They saw the reports twenty

1296
01:05:25,880 --> 01:05:29,480
Speaker 2: seven and a half points or whatever it was, and

1297
01:05:29,560 --> 01:05:34,000
Speaker 2: they got a rude, rude awakening real quick. And I

1298
01:05:34,040 --> 01:05:38,920
Speaker 2: think it goes to show that the hype, the media

1299
01:05:39,000 --> 01:05:41,600
Speaker 2: train all that it only gets you so far. At

1300
01:05:41,600 --> 01:05:43,800
Speaker 2: the end of the day, you have to line up

1301
01:05:43,800 --> 01:05:46,440
Speaker 2: eleven guys against our eleven guys and we'll find out

1302
01:05:46,440 --> 01:05:50,480
Speaker 2: who wants it more and we'll see how far Instagram

1303
01:05:50,520 --> 01:05:54,400
Speaker 2: followers gets them.

1304
01:05:54,960 --> 01:05:58,400
Speaker 1: Flash forward to last night after the game, we have

1305
01:05:58,480 --> 01:06:01,240
Speaker 1: a handshake that same color Artia State quarterback wants a

1306
01:06:01,240 --> 01:06:04,080
Speaker 1: handshake there after Shador dropped thirty six of forty nine

1307
01:06:04,120 --> 01:06:05,920
Speaker 1: for three ten and four scores on him and he

1308
01:06:06,000 --> 01:06:07,440
Speaker 1: wanted nothing to do with it. And there may have

1309
01:06:07,440 --> 01:06:09,600
Speaker 1: been an exploitive or two mixed in there as well.

1310
01:06:09,760 --> 01:06:11,520
Speaker 1: People had a problem with this because that's all they saw.

1311
01:06:11,560 --> 01:06:14,360
Speaker 1: They didn't see that first part. Our philosophy on this

1312
01:06:14,400 --> 01:06:18,000
Speaker 1: show about football is I have no problem you say

1313
01:06:18,000 --> 01:06:21,360
Speaker 1: whatever you want to say before a game, as long

1314
01:06:21,360 --> 01:06:23,280
Speaker 1: as you're going to play the opponent you're talking about.

1315
01:06:23,480 --> 01:06:25,960
Speaker 1: Don't be trashing anyone who's not on your schedule. But

1316
01:06:26,000 --> 01:06:29,360
Speaker 1: if they're on your schedule. Oh, by all means keep

1317
01:06:29,400 --> 01:06:31,280
Speaker 1: your mouth as shut as you want to, which would

1318
01:06:31,280 --> 01:06:34,040
Speaker 1: be my advice or wouldn't be my advice, but is

1319
01:06:34,080 --> 01:06:36,320
Speaker 1: your prerogative. Talk as much as you want to as

1320
01:06:36,440 --> 01:06:38,720
Speaker 1: long as they're going to play the game. They played

1321
01:06:38,760 --> 01:06:41,960
Speaker 1: the game last night, Colorado State got dog walked, and

1322
01:06:42,000 --> 01:06:44,560
Speaker 1: then afterwards Shaduur Sanders wanted nothing to do with the

1323
01:06:44,600 --> 01:06:46,640
Speaker 1: dude that he perceived slided him during the week. You

1324
01:06:46,680 --> 01:06:49,040
Speaker 1: could think it's juvenile if you want to, I really

1325
01:06:49,040 --> 01:06:50,920
Speaker 1: don't care. All I'm telling you is a lot of

1326
01:06:50,960 --> 01:06:53,320
Speaker 1: you ask what you think about that. I thought I'd

1327
01:06:53,320 --> 01:06:55,320
Speaker 1: probably be the same way if I were Shadur Sanders.

1328
01:06:56,160 --> 01:06:59,160
Speaker 1: I would just hope that when people told the story,

1329
01:06:59,240 --> 01:07:02,320
Speaker 1: they told the entire sta story. That was a long

1330
01:07:02,320 --> 01:07:05,560
Speaker 1: and short of that. Colorado this week plays Baylor at home.

1331
01:07:05,880 --> 01:07:08,760
Speaker 1: They're starting Big twelve. Play Baylor at home, and then

1332
01:07:08,760 --> 01:07:12,960
Speaker 1: they go to UCF. And we see UCF last night.

1333
01:07:13,760 --> 01:07:16,240
Speaker 1: It looked pretty good, don't There's a big win for them. Also,

1334
01:07:16,360 --> 01:07:20,400
Speaker 1: Old Miss splattered wake for us yesterday. And the reason

1335
01:07:20,440 --> 01:07:22,840
Speaker 1: I wanted to mention this game was not because it

1336
01:07:22,880 --> 01:07:26,760
Speaker 1: was particularly noteworthy. It's because I saw some people trying

1337
01:07:26,800 --> 01:07:28,480
Speaker 1: to discount it. Now, as you know, I am a

1338
01:07:28,520 --> 01:07:31,760
Speaker 1: well established Old Miss hater. Not in reality, I have

1339
01:07:31,800 --> 01:07:33,760
Speaker 1: nothing belove for Ole Miss, but I've been labeled a hater.

1340
01:07:34,480 --> 01:07:36,280
Speaker 1: So let me take some time out from hating Old

1341
01:07:36,320 --> 01:07:38,720
Speaker 1: Miss to say they played a great game yesterday. But

1342
01:07:38,760 --> 01:07:40,880
Speaker 1: then a lot of people were saying, oh, who cares,

1343
01:07:40,920 --> 01:07:44,360
Speaker 1: it's only Wake, And then the week before they scull

1344
01:07:44,480 --> 01:07:47,040
Speaker 1: drug Middle Tennessee. Oh who cares it's only Middle Tennessee.

1345
01:07:47,480 --> 01:07:50,920
Speaker 1: Well I care because every week in this sport, what

1346
01:07:50,960 --> 01:07:53,160
Speaker 1: do you see? You see teams with a number next

1347
01:07:53,160 --> 01:07:57,240
Speaker 1: to their name, meaning they're ranked playing down to inferior competition.

1348
01:07:57,720 --> 01:08:01,520
Speaker 1: The elite teams don't, though, teams that are elite end

1349
01:08:01,600 --> 01:08:06,040
Speaker 1: up destroying inferior competition. They body bagged them early in

1350
01:08:06,080 --> 01:08:09,600
Speaker 1: the game, suffocatedm Texas did the same thing yesterday. They

1351
01:08:09,680 --> 01:08:13,160
Speaker 1: never give you a second's hesitation in understanding what's about

1352
01:08:13,160 --> 01:08:16,120
Speaker 1: to happen. So what has Ole Miss done? They've done

1353
01:08:16,160 --> 01:08:18,240
Speaker 1: that three times this year. They did it to Furman,

1354
01:08:18,520 --> 01:08:20,280
Speaker 1: they did it to Middle Tennessee, and they did it

1355
01:08:20,320 --> 01:08:23,080
Speaker 1: to Wake. That means nothing more than it means. But

1356
01:08:23,160 --> 01:08:25,960
Speaker 1: what I'm not gonna do is I'm not going to

1357
01:08:26,000 --> 01:08:29,280
Speaker 1: look at the commonality of elite teams in the past,

1358
01:08:29,560 --> 01:08:32,160
Speaker 1: meaning they all do this to teams, they never leave

1359
01:08:32,160 --> 01:08:34,639
Speaker 1: it in doubt. And I'm also not going to ignore

1360
01:08:34,680 --> 01:08:38,720
Speaker 1: that some teams that are posing as top ten struggle

1361
01:08:38,760 --> 01:08:41,200
Speaker 1: in these sorts of games. I'm not ignoring when a

1362
01:08:41,200 --> 01:08:44,920
Speaker 1: team doesn't struggle, when a team exhibits the characteristics of

1363
01:08:44,960 --> 01:08:46,840
Speaker 1: what an elite team should do. Now here's what I

1364
01:08:46,880 --> 01:08:50,120
Speaker 1: did not say. I didn't say Old missus elite. I'm

1365
01:08:50,120 --> 01:08:52,400
Speaker 1: saying they're doing what an elite team would do. You

1366
01:08:52,439 --> 01:08:55,040
Speaker 1: can't know until they start playing the back half of

1367
01:08:55,080 --> 01:08:57,320
Speaker 1: that league schedule. You can't know everything you need to

1368
01:08:57,360 --> 01:09:00,640
Speaker 1: know about them. But what I can know is I

1369
01:09:00,640 --> 01:09:04,280
Speaker 1: can know they're not fraudulent, because a fraudulent team would

1370
01:09:04,320 --> 01:09:06,759
Speaker 1: be struggling a little bit. Here Net's still be putting

1371
01:09:06,760 --> 01:09:08,760
Speaker 1: teams away, but they'd be struggling a little bit. Well,

1372
01:09:08,760 --> 01:09:11,320
Speaker 1: Ole miss has not done that, So it's exactly what

1373
01:09:11,320 --> 01:09:15,200
Speaker 1: it is. It's a team that may be elite doing

1374
01:09:15,280 --> 01:09:17,920
Speaker 1: what an elite team would do. So far, that's the

1375
01:09:17,960 --> 01:09:21,759
Speaker 1: long and short of it. Every one of the odds

1376
01:09:21,760 --> 01:09:24,640

01:09:27,360 --> 01:09:30,719
Speaker 1: the show. Now real talk, Rob Minuile Express sucked yesterday.

1379
01:09:31,160 --> 01:09:33,040
Speaker 1: It's not on me. I don't want any of the blame.

1380
01:09:33,080 --> 01:09:35,040
Speaker 1: It's on the model. Had a long talk with the

1381
01:09:35,080 --> 01:09:38,400
Speaker 1: model this morning and last night, and so we are

1382
01:09:38,520 --> 01:09:42,439
Speaker 1: six games under five hundred right now. It's nothing a

1383
01:09:42,439 --> 01:09:45,120
Speaker 1: good week won't cure. We went nine to oh in

1384
01:09:45,160 --> 01:09:48,280
Speaker 1: week three or week four last year, one of those

1385
01:09:48,280 --> 01:09:52,160
Speaker 1: early weeks. Anyway, I'm not necessarily predicting nine to o

1386
01:09:52,280 --> 01:09:54,960
Speaker 1: this week. We're gonna aim for it, but I am

1387
01:09:55,000 --> 01:09:57,280
Speaker 1: getting on a team that has not cost us yet

1388
01:09:57,280 --> 01:10:00,200
Speaker 1: this year. We are riding Brigham Young early best bet

1389
01:10:00,240 --> 01:10:03,960
Speaker 1: here on the Romanudle Express. Brigham Young is welcoming Kansas,

1390
01:10:04,000 --> 01:10:07,200
Speaker 1: stayed in and they're getting seven and a half at home.

1391
01:10:07,720 --> 01:10:10,400
Speaker 1: That number is available right now at FanDuel. We are

1392
01:10:10,479 --> 01:10:14,679
Speaker 1: taking Brigham Young, known by some as b Yu. Let's

1393
01:10:14,720 --> 01:10:17,200
Speaker 1: have trouble saying the why, and we were taking seven

1394
01:10:17,240 --> 01:10:20,519
Speaker 1: and a half along with Brigham Young, like like like

1395
01:10:20,600 --> 01:10:22,560
Speaker 1: how they've looked so far this year. Put Wyoming to

1396
01:10:22,600 --> 01:10:24,760
Speaker 1: sleep last night, and they covered four US in week

1397
01:10:24,760 --> 01:10:27,240
Speaker 1: one as well. So maybe what was bet wyoming all year.

1398
01:10:28,560 --> 01:10:31,160
Speaker 1: Steps are being taken. Steps. I'm not happy about it.

1399
01:10:31,320 --> 01:10:33,360
Speaker 1: I'm not happy about it yesterday, not happy about it

1400
01:10:33,400 --> 01:10:37,880
Speaker 1: at all. There were I like the sides we were

1401
01:10:37,920 --> 01:10:42,160
Speaker 1: on and it was just aggravating. But trust me, steps

1402
01:10:42,200 --> 01:10:43,840
Speaker 1: are being taken. That's all I can say right now

1403
01:10:43,920 --> 01:10:45,879
Speaker 1: is between me and the model. Steps are being taken.

1404
01:10:45,960 --> 01:10:48,640
Speaker 1: But yeah, not acceptable. Six games up to under five

1405
01:10:48,720 --> 01:10:52,400
Speaker 1: hundred not acceptable. Sign up for FanDuel at FanDuel dot com.
